    Annoying TV ads

    Excellent tool for the Harvey Norman TV ads when they come on ( and all ads following that until the main feature comes back on ) .. don't appreciate being shouted at like we're deaf as well as stupid. MUTE!

    Hence we don't shop there any more. Well done the HM marketing team .

    Commercial radio is just as bad, decent ( quality ) ads and we may start listening to them again and, if you're lucky, actually go and buy some of your product. where's the mute button , the ads are on !

    Most ads are just plain lies, and lying seems to be an accepted thing in society these days. Stupid humans.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    You need TV on demand with Adblock+. Fuck the advertising.

    Don't worry, just spent $2k+ at HN to balance out your lack of expenditure (well, of my bosses money).

    Went to them with a competitors pricing, and they bettered it, so they got the sale. Don't give a fuck about what ad from who, their price and product was the best option.

    Harvey Norman ads!

    I'm not deaf and neither am I stupid, hence the reason I will never visit a Harvey Norman store again.

    Thank god for the bloody mute button.

    Commercial radio ? Herbal Ignite same thing, instant mute and all following advertisers miss out too until the program resumes, if I come back on a bit late, who care's and that's life.

    What are your least liked ad's ?

    There is no apostrophe in ads.

    I have almost no tolerance for adverts these days. Ad-block on my computer, stream television rather than watching it through a network, stream music rather than listen to it on the radio. When I do watch television on ye olde freeview, all of the adverts grate on my nerves. Liberate yourself from the communal dumbing down of advertisements!

    True, but I guess ads isn't really a word either.

    Whether it's a "word" or not matters not a jot. It still doesn't get an apostrophe.

    My pet hates, Informercials. I cant / cannot ( Hitch ?? ) stand the bloody things. How can they think we are so fuckin dumb as to be talked to the way they do. For the industry to run a channel with nothing but informercials and suggest it's anything but the garbage it is, is outright insulting. Sadly, the ads that piss us off the most are the most effective ( supposedly ).

    As I said in another post, the best thing on our tv is the off switch.
