Viewing television adverts and listening to radio adverts makes me realise how out of touch most companies are with the customers who buy their products. The majority of pathetic adverts these days won't interest anyone due to their ridiculous nature and terrible dialogue.

You mean how like Britney was dancing for Pepsi once? -_-;;

Alot of the commercials dont really make me want to buy them..i mean yea britney is dancing(My eyes!! ) and all but...theres no reason to me that i would want to go out and get a pepsi...

And you know toy commercials? They always make it look real cool and all but you know..once you get it, its not as cool as you would think it would be..and i know it tricks some kids..i been tricked too when i was little, now i read into every little thing before i buy it.

Its as stupid as pop-up adds...too bad theres no pop up stoppers for those..

If it wasn't for advertising, nut jobs like me would never get off my arse to go buy that thing I was subliminally ordered to just go and buy, thank you very much.

Well of course going outside to buy something is as easy as Dell!

I are agree with this. My favourites are all the car adverts in Australia. Almost all of em show the car blazing round and stuff around it gettin wasted.
Message - Car may generate dangerous amounts of heat?

And every advert about ice-cream now usually involve somebody eating the ice-cream, then having an orgasm. I mean, WTF? Sme goes for fast-food ads. If i ever wear that expression while chowin down, shoot me in the head. Twice

Ugh don't even mention those wierd abstract perfume ads.

Every second popup i get is Viagra/Penis-related, or people telling me urgent things about owning property in France. Okay, if i were to listen to every one of those, i would have countless condo's in france to house my enormous penis.

~~~ 'IF I BUY THE FRICKEN VIAGRA WILL YOU GUYS GIVE IT A REST?' -FreaQ

Nike adverts have stopped advertising Nike so much as Camus or Sartre.

The commerical universe is a curious one. Shampoo causes sexual arousal; chocolate liquor drinks are akin to powerful pheromones; cigarettes or shoes bring you popularity. And sometimes, social interactions begin to mimic these curiosities: certain shoe brands become status symbols within some subcultures; people have start having inexplicable orgasms in the shower.

It only took you a cheap pick up line to get hooked, but I still haven't scored with Snizz.

This strangely sounds like my Popular Culture Seminar ...
Advertisements are meant to offer you something you think you are lacking so it plays on various aspects - Popularity and sex most often since that is what grabs most people's attention. The amount of sexuality in a TV commercial now is pretty close to pornographic, they're pushing the boundries of what is considered tasteful to down right o.O; But I've noticed lately that they're trying to use more humour in the commercials but sadly, most commercials are trying to be funny or turn you on and then later you think about the commercial and realize they never really explain what the product was about.

ie: A woman backs up her car into another car while a guy walks buy, she comes out of the car all *OMFG I R TEH SUXS* and he's all like *that's cool cause I'm cool* so she gives him her information and is all *_* cause he let her off. But it turns out it's not his car, he's parked ina much crappier looking car like right next to the uber hawt car she rammed into.

Theory: This is either about car insurance or some real lame car commercial
Conclusion: It's actually for a candy company. Cause the guy is being 'sweet'
Me: wtf? -.-'

It's like they're not even trying to make sense anymore, as long as people remeber the product ... but in this case, I remember the commercial, but I can't remember the product because there's nothing that connected the product to the visuals being offered. Lame but that's the nature of advertising, what ever catches your attention to their product is a job well done... even if the customer can't recall the product but that's not important :P
