Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsCurrent commercial annoying the heck out of me: "Busy" little girl who needs her "me" time.
I don't even know what the ad is for.
I'm so irritated by her nasally voice talking about how booked up her 6 year old life is.
I know it's wrong, but I want to kick her little face.
Do these commercials get shown to potential audiences for reaction before release?
OK, I've vented. What commercials are driving you crazy?
(Political ads are a given)

im not wanting to run peoples lives
man, turn that shit off. really, it makes your life SO much better. Less itch
less stress
we watch the news
mute the commercials (daily, 30 min)
we watch Jeopardy
mute the commercials (weekdays, 30 min)
we occasionally watch a movie (once or twice a month)
we listen to music, we read, and i personally spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME HERE, but
when i visit my mother i go INSANE
constant tv
too loud and constant screaming advertising
Geez mom
why do you listen to this crap
you arent looking for a new car or a mattress or drum set or
I just leave it on in the background
I dunno
i think we are all being poisoned in a very real psychological way
poisoned and brainwashed.
But its all voluntary. We can turn it off.
(sorry for the hijack
have a wonderful evening, all)

(21,320 posts)i do think our psyche and souls are being poisoned by advertising though.
i know i am more stressed when advertising is on
its purposefully LOUD and ANNOYING and INTRUSIVE
its trying to get me to desire things i do not need
its wants me to give my money to people/companies i do not respect.
i dunno people
simplify.

(1,038 posts)One of the reasons I pay a little more for what might be considered a legacy system - cable with a dvr. I record almost everything before I watch and then fast forward through commercials. I hate commercials, I always feel like some one is lying to me to make some money. My fast forward button reflexes have been honed over the years but it's not perfect, especially if I'm tired or distracted. But it's still a way to watch most of what I'd like to watch and filter out most of the junk.

Who ever OKed that commercial should be fired, dunked in hot tar, and launched into the sun.
