    Christmas is over. Don't shout!

    The Radio Harvey Norman Ad's have now made us decide to have a gift free Christmas ...

    Too much shouting ..please HM ,don't shout at me like I'm stupid ! , same for a lot of the other Radio and TV ad's

    Are we the only ones pissed off by adverts ?

    Word of mouth is the only advertising worth anything.

    All the rest is just stuff you can do without anyway,which is exactly why the annoying pricks push it so hard.

    If it needs advertising,,you don't need it !

    If advertising didn't work, do you think companies would continue to pay the massive $$ it costs? Radio advertising is expensive!

    I handmade most of my gifts this year. The grandkids may be initially disapointed I didn't buy them the latest and greatest plastic thingamejig like I usually do. I'm hoping a few years down the track, when I'm no longer around, they may appreciate something made by their grandad.

    I'll throw in some lollies to sweeten the deal.

    Thats why if I want to watch anything on tv, I tape it so I do not have to listen to some plastic fuck trying to sell me shit I have no interest in. Same with radio, I only listen when they have the ad free hour.

    i don't own a TV, so that halves it.
    i've never heard an ad and thought "i'm going to buy it", if anything, ads put me off companies.

    Hardly Normal ads have def. piqued my pissed off. aswell as bri$coes and lilly from big save furniture.
    they will never get my business.

    Also, i will NEVER buy form magness benrow in auckland, every time i'm there i hear their godawful ads.

    beer ads used to be good. still wouldn't encourage me to drink *gag* speights.

    Probably the only ad that has made me want to buy anything.

    Sure it works for some sections of society.

    I'm not part of that section.

    Nobody said it doesn't work.

    Some of us have simply had a guts full of it is all.

    Now rush off an buy the latest 4x4 with twin over head fox tails "tooth brush",,,,you saw on the box last night.

    Mind you,,,you could always save your money until next week when the new improved version with "three" over head fox tails hits the market.
