Annoying Commercials
Sunday, June 29, 2003
Anytime I watch a commercial and it just plain stinks I wonder how this could ever pass through the process. I try to imagine the people in the ad agency first. I then imagine the pitch meeting. With all that has to happen why doesn?t someone say this ad is annoying, it is stupid, and it STINKS!
Years ago I stopped eating at McDonalds because of a series of radio spots they did where each week they would announce the ?meal of the week?. Some guy would start out talking and then start eating the burger. I don?t like to hear myself eating let alone an over dramatized version of someone else eating. Does anyone want to hear someone chewing? How did this get approved?
The list of ads like this is endless but the most annoying commercial on television today has to be the AT&T ad. The singing, ?Thank you for hearing me?, over and over and over and over while they flash text on the screen. Do they think this will spur me to buy their product? If anything I am ready to cancel my AT&T long distance with them.
If you are going to interrupt something I am doing with something annoying I am not going to buy your products. So stop annoying me!
