Advertisement. Love Or Hate?

Mmmmmm

Advertisement is a double edge sword in my opinion. You either want what they're talking about or want to throw it out the window. For me certain advertisements that pull me in have to show me what I like in an instant. Some things that strike my interest are new music, tasty looking food, or new technology, which I find predominant. Some forms of advertisement that interest me are billboards, something with humor/catchy phrases, or teaser commercials (commercials that don't say much but show the product).

Ha Ha Ha

Some ads that I run away from or makes me change the channel are infomercial type of performances, or when they try and introduce something I know that I would never need or know that wouldn't work, something that stops me from playing music after a couple songs like on "Pandora", or the commercials about starving kids, such propaganda strikes me as sick. The worst of all to me has to be spam. How can something so delicious be named as the same thing that is so irritable? Once I see an email with something I don’t recall applying for like becoming a dentist or doctor or even the simple “get rich quick schemes” I instantly delete the email.

There are plenty of ads I just simply ignore. Being a smoker, I always turn my eyes to something else when the advertisements for quitting smoking comes on the TV, or anything that has to do with telling me that I’m doing something wrong with my life like not wearing my seatbelt although it’s true I should be wearing my seatbelt, I’m a rebel. There are other kinds of advertisement that I avoid which are the ones on the radio due to the fact I can’t see what they're offering me so the product doesn’t appeal to me at all.
