Advertising is TOTALLY out of control!

i hear radio everyday to work, and i cringe whenever i hear these commercials:

how to be a billionaire reading a "how to book... If I can do it u can too...

Eliminate your debt... we help you consolidate ur loans...

why pay xx amount, when u can .99% flat fee... (accompanied with super fast robotic disclaimer)

work from home schemes...

its a big racket out there.. its disgusting that these stations dont filter ads to maintain crediblity...!
 
I couldn't agree more Red!

And to the rest of you buggers... Today I had a new phone line put in... the guy wanted to do a "biscuit jack" but I didn't want one of those stupid jack boxes in the middle of the trim on the floor... I said "I can drill from under the floor and hit that phone box!"

The guy said "no way" I said "gimme' your bit" and I proceeded to NAIL that sucker straight through the bottom in ONE SHOT! Blind shot measuring from common walls and underneath!

I did keep that guy there for an extra half-hour for various install BS... so you know how I tipped him? Yep... ice-cold hunting pack of Busch.

Frankly the only REAL beer is Guinness anyway.
 
i hate that commercial for Sony's PSP where this guy is just sitting on some grass and he gets tossed a PSP, he plays with it for 2 seconds and proceeds to throw the ****ing thing out of frame until someone else catches it and it continues until the first guy gets it again.

who the hell would throw a $300 piece of equipment? and if someone tossed it to you, don't you think you'd keep it and not throw it to anybody else?

dumbasses at sony are advertising this product wrong. why would the give so much disrespect to the PSP?

Yeah, I think a much better ad campaign would be to spray-paint graffiti on the sides of buildings showing zombie'd out kids licking the PSP like it's a popsicle.

Oh wait, they ARE doing that... :grin:
 
HA HA HA! I gave Red hell for not buying me that Pumpkin Beer during Halloween time.
You know the one in the black box with the orange pumpkin on the side. The stuff that probably tasted like poo poo!! :D
He's good at not being tempted. I am a marketing junky.
I love packaging. If it's packed ultra cool, I'll buy it. I might even keep the empty on a shelf.
It's SICK I TELL YA!!!
(I just saw that there was a "Red" on here, I was speaking of "my Red", not DVXusers Red). :)

I hate the commercials about balding remidies where there are "Noticable results in just one use", or "See the results in seconds". How in the F*** can you see HAIR GROWTH results in any less time than it takes to actually grow hair????

And what the hell?? I thought bald was beautiful. 'kept rammin that down our throats for years, just long enough for me to start getting bald, then WHAM!, all these hair restoration products.




I feel lied to.

Lied to and dirty.

Dirty and out of place.

Out of place and bald.

Just me and my great bald head, alone the both of us in a dark room.


And there's a monkey in here who hits me.
