I hate all advertising

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

it all sucks, there is no fine line.

1. You mean like

when you're traveling down an unfamiliar highway and a billboard let's you know that there is a gas station ahead.

Yeah, I hate being informed too.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

2. Billboard? Or highway sign?

There is a difference.

[jellybelly]

3. I especially hate

fast food advertising...I'm such a lard ass:cry:

[RoeBear]

4. Does seeing an ad for McDonalds

make you stop in and buy their food?

Have you always had willpower issues?

[jellybelly]

7. yes....

that's why I'm a lard ass...duh! My willpower kicks in when I see myself naked, I avoid it at all costs:scared:

[BurtWorm]

8. You don't work in the advertising industry by any chance, do you?

:hi:

[RoeBear]

9. Naw...

...I just see it as a necessary evil.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

12. I did. Thus the attitude.

I guess.

5. This may help...

17. Oh I love that!

[jdots]

10. you are correct-o-mundo !

Ever had the nightmare about having to work on Madison Ave. writing ad copy for insane products,wearing lame fashion and being a super neo yuppy ? Alot of brainwashing tech goes into
being good ad the ad game. The worst form of ad speak is used by the little Karl Roves and Newts.

11. I like it if it's funny.

However the way people seem to take leave of their senses re: brand names does make me think all advertising is indeed evil.

[DS1]

13. Ahhh, you're getting into the people who hate marketing market

Tough market

[Deja Q]

14. Nobody will enforce it either... The FCC is content to ban what it thinks

is nudity, yet it won't fritter a fuck about the actual content.

:grr:

[bloom]

15. Some sucks more than others

The most annoying is what you can't avoid.

Like ads shown while at the movie theatre. At home - I can at least mute them.

"Ads" that are part of movies are even more unavoidable - unless you just avoid the movie altogether.

I love commercial free radio and TV. That's part of why I have a limited tolerance for Air America. I can't stand the ads.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

16. Me too. I find that progressive radio with ads from the same old

shit kind of negates the point of the radio content, but that is just me... I am an unabashed lefty.
