Reason is, ads as close as every 5 minutes, repeating the same thing over and over during one show, pushing other shows and when my show finally comes back, they insert their banners that take about 1/4 of the screen pushing ever more. All that is disturbing what I want to watch so, good bye Hollywood. If this is some kind of psychological war or brainwashing, it doesn't work on me. The more they push some product or show, the more they turn me off. I never buy what is being advertised! If they think people are such a idiots, maybe they should look in the mirror. Advertising should be on exclusive channels so people can research what they are looking for. For example I don't need to see sale of mattraces every day! Or all the sex pills!!! Again, good bye TV.

Unfortunately we seem to swear about TV adverts more than a lot of things, because there seems to be much more time dedicated to adverts now, and you barely get to watch the introduction to a programme before we're back on to the ads! More often than not, we will forget what we were watching and start something else (if you're lucky enough to find another programme on in this dedicated advert time!) They're getting more irritating too - we know getting remembered is the game, but do they have to be that annoying?! Because we're actually forced to absorb advert information, tv is the best form of awareness for the big boys with a wide spread, highly unidentified audience. So if advertisers don't want to be hated so much, they should try feeding us more varied, less annoying adverts, in moderation, so we watch them for a smaller % of our lives and don't watch the same ones all the time! We'll live in hope! On the rare occassion there's a great advert we love - and for that we are grateful! But as for the rest of them... it comes down to how a business uses their advert and what the desired response is. Thanks again for writing the article and sorry about my rant!
