Christmas is over. Don't shout!

[Drew]

If you pay for music media on the net, (or just steal it like most people), there are no ads.

I wonder why that is? Oh yeah, ya get nothing for nothing!

[awa355]

There's only one thing worse than the crappy ads, the crap that gets played between the ad breaks,

If my wife dies before me, the tv's going into the ground before her. She can take it with her.

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 ?

I think you're one person that explains why Harvey Norman (two-letter abbreviation HN, not HM) shouts. Spaces before fullstops, exclamation marks and commas are unnecessary. They're a "fashion" indulgence that six-year-old girls, who also dot Is with little hearts, use. Radio, in the context quoted, isn't a proper noun and doesn't need a capital letter, and ads is is a contraction for advertisements, and doesn't need an apostrophe because it has no associated possession.

I'm pissed off by poor English usage. Ads? Who cares? Just turn the volume up.

I use the mute button when ads appear and watch movies and documentaries on Sky, mostly.
Ads suck but you don't have to listen to them

Broadcasters have finally 'fessed up to broadcasting adverts at higher volumes than the programmes that they accompany.

So ad makers are probably getting clever and raising the volume within the advert.

And those who say there aren't adverts on Sky are blinder than a paraletic meth addict in a coma. Every 5 minutes it's an advert about fucking sharks or deadly fishing reality shows.

I like those ads you get on YouTube or Facebook that apparently tailor themselves to what your tastes and interests are.
They're completely on the piss, because Facebook in particular keeps showing me advertisements about joining the Mormon Church. Anyone who knows me personally would realise what a joke that is.

I also like what this Banksy person had to say about advertising esp. in public places.

[Grizzo]

Tis the reason I stopped watching main stream TV and only watch what I want on the internet (using our big screen tv as a secondary monitor).
No ads, no bullshit, just interesting docos and movies that I want to watch.

Those yelly fuckin ads sent me over the edge I decided to put my freeview box away.

[SMOKEU]

Windows Media Center + DVB-T or DVB-S card is what you need to skip ads.

[Flip]

I use XBMC (Xbox Media Center). The only thing I watched on "TV" in the last 3 months was Dr Who on boxing day.

I find the TV and comercial Radio basically insulting and don't use them or their services anymore. Advertising media had lost me as a client, real life is much more interesting.
