Ads We Love To Hate

One of mine is the Interactive Brokers ad with two gents fly fishing....one giggling about the "fan-tas-tic" week he had trading.  I think of fly fishing as a chance to get away from it all.  I also don't want to be fishing 40 feet from another guy :wacko: talking about hedge funds.

 

Next would be the Invesco ad where 4 people follow you around all day all talking at the same time. I always mute that one.  Hate it so bad I tried to write Invesco to tell them how bad it is :blink:

My wife watches girl programs on Lifetime, so they usually have girl ads.

 

I cannot stand the feminine hygiene  Schick Razor products ads where the ladies walk around mostly nude and have their lower lady parts covered up by vegetation.  I won't even link to it, but I find it fairly disgusting and completely distasteful.

This is against my better judgement.  It's not feminine hygiene as I had thought, but a razor commercial for women titled "Trim the Bushes."  For even more fun, go to Youtube and search "Mow the Lawn."

 

Adults will view this without blushing, but I think of the Klipsch site as family friendly.  If this offends anybody for any reason please let me know and I will delete it.

I can't fathom all these folks sitting around writing such lame commercials and even stranger still is companies hire them for this non sense.  Trying to sale a life style most of the time.  Remarked to the lady friend "notice all the people in the Sandals cruise commercial are pretty people".  No pear shaped tourist in Reboks.

I've noticed in the last month or so, Viagra/Cialis having commercials late in the afternoon, around 4-6pm. I like to watch the local news at 5pm, my 14 year old daughter is usually close by doing homework. I just think it's odd for them to be on at that time.

A radio ad that is KILLING me now is the "croissan'wich" ad the Burger King has on.  It's been playing during the baseball playoffs a bunch and I am channel surfing in a hurry as every second of it that I hear makes me a little more stupid!

Those are great 2 min ads, 15 seconds of what it does, 1 min 45 sec of pleasant visual images while the horrors bestowed upon your body via side effects are described in some detail.  Who knew rectal bleeding could seem so nice...

If all commercials were like this I would not mind them. Seeing beautiful women in bikins wil not hurt anyone. 

 

I cannot stand radio commercials. 

 

1.   I am looking for a team of investors for this great real estate opportunity

 

2.  Local car ad where the guy yells the whole time

 

3.  McDonald's commercials - anything

 

4.  "Nerd level wifi speed" 

 

They play these constantly and then only about 50 songs over and over.  Seems like there was a lot of music from 1970 to 1995, more than 50 songs.  I jjust got my new computer online and stream from my server all day, I am happy.  I really hated those commercials, especially when you hear them 20 times a day.

Its odd from them to be on at all.

I get sick of the aspca telling me there is no way we can really know how an animal feels, then they proceed to tell me how an animal feels and that I should donate 19.00+ a month because no animal deserves to suffer.........................I use to like some of Sarah McLachlan's music

 

I am all for ethical treatment of animals but I can think of several places 19.00 would be better spent..............And I dont want your damn T-Shirt

 

 

 

 

Heres an interesting read http://www.examiner.com/article/merry-grinch-mas-the-truth-about-aspca-and-hsus-spending
