'What irks me greatly' I will now tell,
In poem format, what the hell.
1) Television Today, what can I say?
Violence and sex run on the screen and have somehow become acceptable as mainstream.
And children's shows too, for that matter, canned laughter does not make it better.
Those annoying voice overs during the promos, making the audience gasp and say "ONOES!"
But in actual fact they fabricated a whole story from two or three clips that leads the audience to believe something is going to happen when in actual fact the show itself has a completely different plot.
Ok so that bit didn't rhyme, I'll try harder next time.
Advertising in general: It's annoying when y'all actually listen to what they say and focus away from the outstanding gay.
They do not lie but bend the truth, use words that make their message mean nothing like; may, help, if.
It helps fight the seven signs of aging,... If eaten with a balanced diet and regular exercise. You might save some money.
Ads are just so dishonest, insert word here that rhymes with honest.
It's got knobs on it, it really does. Oh and ads that point out problems and imply they solved the solution but really haven't.
"Katie likes buying shoes but she doesn't know a thing about cars. Like this:___"
What about the car? It's just annoying.
'It is better than SOME leading brands.'
So really there are products out there that are better than it? For an ad who is pushing the message of SCIENCE that doesn't work very well.
OH! And all those ads who say "Now with wonderfluriom, made from nature so it must be good for you."
BECAUSE IT IS FROM NATURE DOES NOT MEAN IT IS GOOD FOR YOU!
That is all...
Peace

Hi Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteSad to hear you dislike advertising so much. I, for one, love to watch and look at ads. They're like jokes and movie trailers all in one. Some of them ingenious! Others can be really touching.
(Some of the ads I really like!)

That's true, ads can be good.
ReplyDeleteWe need ads in our society, they tell us where to buy stuff and what products are avaliable to improve our life however it is when they imploy downright shoddy techniques that actively seek to decept their audience when I get saddened by the state of the human race.
Some of them imply that they are better than other products however this is never backed up by scientific facts.... but then again it doesn't have to be as it is an implication and not a statement.
CURSE THEM AND THEIR CAREFUL WORDING!
That's what they do! They lead the audience to assume stuff. And I am not down with that.
But enough brooding aside I have to admit those ads were pretty good.
