Saturation Advertising

I'll scream if I see hat Jacuzzi shower ad with Christina Haack one more time. It seems it's on at every station break. How can that company afford to advertise so much and pay a celebrity to do it?

Others ads are in the more public interest sort like the teen that finds a foster home, a woman that comes home from what is obviously a business trip to find her husband and kids asleep in a bed, lung cancer in African-Americans, and a handful of others. These are probably important and should be aired, but the frequency is annoying to me.

I'm sure I'm going to get a visit from the department of Homeland security or the FBI after I make this comment but..

I wish somebody would push her in front of a ****ing train. Every 10-12-13 minutes I see her and hear her. I cannot believe that Jacuzzi doesn't recognize how annoying her goddamn commercial is and how annoying she is herself. I do mention the train just in case anybody is brave enough to help us all out.
 

I'm constantly asked to contribute to this or that person;'s political campaign. And to support refugees from foreign wars. :mad:

Some ads are distasteful and really shouldn't be shown during family tv. I mean those advertising sanitary products, incontinence pads, men's underpants and erection aids. They belong in magazines not on tv. The ones showing people cleaning their teeth and other personal hygiene activities turn my stomach. They always seem to be on when I'm eating!

And how about those Blue Chew commercials with those half dressed 20 year old women that feed their boy friends the Blue Chews so they can like them so much better and oh yeah can get medically qualified online. That commercial is aired continuously.

This is an older thread, but I just stumbled upon it.

Why are TV ads of men's underpants distasteful for you but obvoiusly women's panties and bras not? And sanitary products and incontinence pads are of invaluable help everyday for a lot of people, mostly older. And what is wrong with TV ads with people cleaning their teeth? I don't get it.

Erection aids? Do you mean medication as the blue pill or vacuum pumps, to mention only two examples? Nothing wrong with it on TV either, be it family TV or something else. This is life in all of it's aspects.

I see both sides, but some of the evening news disturbs me more than the ads. Lately, I've been leaving TV off when eating.
 
Spectrum has tons of advertising on every day. No wonder they keep jacking up their rates. The Spectrum brand name is out there. Stop with the commercials. That way they're not dishing out all of that money on advertisements, and making them too. They don't have to try to get that money back from their customers. :mad:

The AM radio stations of Chicago, and probably of other major markets, have been totally destroyed for me with ads being about 85 percent of their content, and that includes so-called 'news' stations. On top of that, every major station in Chicago has sold out to having nothing but commercial content on their station for the entire weekend - Saturday through Sunday.

We were told in the old days that radio belonged to the people. Someone must have offered a higher price.
