Intrusive Advertising
Advertisers work very hard to reach their clients audience, and it has become even harder these days. Not only are jerks like YOU, yes YOU, changing the channel on your TV whenever a commercial comes on, or even worse using TiVo to fast forward through all the ads, YOU are also showing up 15 minutes past show time at the movies, causing YOU to miss all the valuable ads for those material things YOU should be buying to lead a happy life. Now because of YOU, advertisers are getting ever creepier in their attempts to capture the publics attention, like in the Trident sponsored movie theater lights. I can’t even tell you how disturbing the notion of these mouths on the floor is to me, ugh god, scary.
See more creepy, space invading advertising after the jump.
Sally Struthers has got nothing on this pity grabbing shopping cart ad for some feed the world organization. Should I feel bad when I am at the supermarket and I’m passing beer and chemical cleaners into the hands of the starving children in these ads?
Now this one has gone too far! ABC is using the window on dryers in laundromats to advertise for some lame show called “Wipeout“. Now, first off, wouldn’t it be better just to call the show “Canceled After 2 Episodes”? Secondly, I hate you ABC! One of the few joys I have in life is going to do my laundry, sniffing some bleach and tripping out as my clothes do a dance for me through the dryer window! How dare you take that from me!
In conclusion America, please start watching commercials again and please act like brainwashed zombies who buy whatever corporate America tells you to. Thank you.
