Same. If I were to buy a product that was coincidently part of a 'decent ad' - it would only be because I was going to purchase that product anyway. Certainly not because of the ad itself.
Ahh, the virus ads. One bad ad for a bad product opens the door for a whole new breed of bad ads. They spread like a nasty infection and always get worse before they get better.
Truth and advertising have always and will forever be strangers- I notice they only ever portray winners..
- never a mention of the countless thousands of losers..
Kudos.
No, I'm afraid it doesn't. This merely confirms your preconceived and generalised assumptions based on an extremely small cross section. At best it may "infer" that several people in this thread are too attached, yet that particular inference is still only based on assumption since nobody here has mentioned what they watch, how long they watch; or have been watching for.This thread confirms people are way too attached to media.
This is just a personal bias with erroneous inferences. I'm extremely confident in stating that ads also exist outside of "reality TV" and game show genres. Ads can and will be found across every genre. I personally don't watch any "reality TV" or game shows, yet I still encounter a plethora of ads in other varied genres.People have time to watch some pos phony reality - game show they have time to use for something more important in their lives. Get something done that doesn't expose you to these ads for gods sakes.
Implying they are not doing something important whilst being exposed to ads is also an erroneous assumption. Just because a TV is on does not automatically confirm that they are "glued to it" to the detriment of any other life enriching activities. It is quite possible to be doing something else; important or otherwise; whilst a TV is on. A multitude of reasons. Furthermore, what constitutes as a "more important thing" is very much open to interpretation.
This would be a tangent. Once again an assumed and generalised inference.Seems some people would rather willingly be brainwashed by the media telling them what they should pay attention to. Oh but they don't want to hear that. And the 'powers that be' certainly want your attention for advertising space.
However I partially agree. I offer no proof apart from also falling back on to generalisation and learned bias, but there are indeed many who "appear" to "go along" very easily with having their choices made for them. However the majority are simply ignorant and completely conditioned. The companies that hire professional manipulators, or "marketing/advertisers" do indeed want attention. That's why they exist.
And the result is? Annoying bloody ads.
