Television Commercials

That sounds like me too. Just as well that there are those breaks I guess

.....Hi dlr297, I too find watching commercial such a waste of time, I find myself being very grateful to the inventor of the mute button. The inane messages put forth in commercials, just makes me wonder who has the final approval to pay for the copy. Maybe if I were developing a commercial, I would have a hard time pleasing my audience as well. What happened to the focus groups? Thanks for your response.

actually, that the only reason why i hated them. i would better rely on the labels on each product's packaging before buying them. thats the only fact where I can see whats that particular product really brings to me or my love ones.

hehehe... its ok... no worries, i get that a lot even my real name it always happens so no worries... :)

...Hi mesusky, thank you for your response. Yes most are not fond of commercials, but one also has to realize that without the commercials, we would not have the programs that we enjoy. So, it is as I mentioned somewhere here, part of the process. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You are viewing it from a different angle. Like a building being looked at by a group of people and most of the onlookers do not like the style of the building, but an architect comes along and starts to describe the history of the style of the building and explains why the angles of the building are the way they are. When he gets finished, the onlookers, have a new found understanding of the building and modify their reaction to it. You have provided a broader understanding in the discussion of commercials and I thank you so much for your input. Take care.

...mesuaky, please forgive my misspelling your name. Sorry :o)

...Hi kl_blueknight. You hit a real pet peeve of mine with commercials as well, they go on and on. It is so annoying, you sometimes, or I do anyway, forget where the program you were watching left off. If only they could find a way to pay for programs without commercials. Thanks for your response. Take care.

....Thanks for your response juwujaren, yep, the time can be used for all kinds of things, calling a friend, kitchen break, garden of Eden break, computer time. It is amazing though, the number of minutes devoted to commercials during a program. I flip over to another station during a commercial break and they are coordinated, they all break at the same time, which is another annoyance, at least to me. Take it easy. Oh, I have to look for the iPod commercial, and I must say, I do pay attention when they use an old song that I like, such as "At Last" the Geico commercial is one of my favorites, especially the little green thingee. :o)

...Hi simplyman2006, I find your name very interesting. I think you are hiding something :o), probably deeper than your name implies. Thanks for commenting. I am going to check your suggestion out. I love funny. Thanks for stopping by. Take care.

...Hi Hatley, my real first name and the name you use here are similar in a way. I too love the Aflack commercial and the Geico one. I like the music in a lot of them, but for the most part I mute the sound or go and do something else, to fill the time. Commercials have a purpose, and a need. I just think there could be better thought put into the process to improve on the content, also to shorten them. Take it easy. Your laugh on paper sounds like my sister. :o)

....Hi there lelin123, I use the time to do something else as well, the mute button is also my very good friend. Lately I have noticed that the allotted time for commercials has increased. The other thing is that they now also try to make the commercial into a story, which catches my attention, but then I forget what the product was, so that seems to be a wasted effort as well. Thanks for your reply.

...sorry to have dropped a 1 in your name . :o)

...happy6162, thank you for response. I do the same thing, my mute button is my friend. They have taken to showing real people and then they show their insides, like an x-ray machine, that gets on my nerves. Not interested in seeing animated pictures of a person's insides. Just tell me what the product will do. Leave the person's body intact. Sorry to rant. Take care.
