Since you bring up the subject, most all commercials are now so repulsive, and depraved, that I mute them out.

Now? They have ALWAYS been that way; in fact this is one of my major pet peeves and why I love the TV mute button; any 'advertising executive' or 'marketing consultant' who believes that I or people like me buy ANYTHING based on a tasteless commercial should have their head examined! In fact, for me and, I suspect, many others like me, it works the other way around...I avoid like the plague whenever possible products and services where the electronic advertising offends me. Freepers, how widespread is this? Is it only conservatives who do this? Is there any research on this? Thanks for your help!

“Now? They have ALWAYS been that way”

I had in mind the Juicy Fruit commercial, for one. For me, that is a new low.

Awwww, c’mon; the Alka Seltzer advert with the guy sitting on a stool talking to his stomach sitting on the opposite stool was adorable.

I specifically avoid products who’s adverts have the “stoopit” daddy-white male character — near all of them nowadays.

(Darn, I think I just carbon-dated myself.)
