    TV ads are brain damage

    TV ad's are akin to brain damage, commercial radio is the same, if not worse.

    Anyone been compelled, after hearing, or watching an ad shouting at you to, to shoot into their shop and buy one of their products ?

    Just wondering .... I know this has been raised before

    So you listen to them then, I don't have the patience.

    Mute button's always a handy tool, more than ever.

    BFM, even the adds are good.
    Commercial radio, haven't bothered for years.
    The adds remind me where not to go ..Harvey go...

    By way of explanation, their adds piss me off enough not to ever buy a single one of their products....I don't give a shit how good their pricing is (or isn't)

    I refuse to ever buy anything that comes in an 'infomercial'. No buggar that insults my intelligence with that kind of ad will get my dollar.

    But we are brain damaged, according to the advertisers...
