Isn’t it about time adverts (spit) just curled up in a ball and died? Interrupting TV & Radio with their relentless rattle’n’babble repetitious sheepshank. Nobody cares. Nobody is listening.
They used to snoot: “The ads are the best thing on TV, haw haw.” But not anymore. Now there are so many of the damn dirty w****s that it’s all become just one big rainbow-riddled blur of dazzle-scum.
And I’m sure they don’t work. DFS has been having a “prices slashed fake Bank Holiday” sale for the past decade, and do I give a toss? and have I skipped on down to purchase a sofa or a swivel chair? - no!
Damn them all to Hell, Dark Jesus. Nail their cheap coffins with thine belicose Hammer of Petty Judgement!

Given the choice between having to endure ads, and the tax on tv that is the licence fee, I'd give ads the thumbs up every time. I mean, even the BBC - who argue they cannot use ads because it would affect their independent status - advertise their own programs between their own programs.
In effect ads are a way of ensuring some kind of quality - ad makers want to put their ads where the viewers will see them - to get the viewers you need decent programs, or failing that at least one that many will watch.Why do you think Sky went all out to get 24 season 3, and secure season 4? Because with the ratings they have the ad time is going to before filming of season 4 even finishes.

Heh, I have to agree there actually. I hate missing some of a film to go to the toilet, and it's not nice to have to rush :^)
Still, when they split a film either side of the news it's too much of a gap..

No man can get away from the putrid things. My life quest isn't the avoidance of ads. My wish is that they would avoid me - permantly.

I don't watch films on ITV, channel 4 or five.
I cannot stand having a film interrupted by fecking ads.
Argh.

Haha. Quite agree with you there, Kickshaws. Those DFS adverts are realy getting on my nerves. They all should rot in TV advert hell.
UW.

Adverts aren't really all that bad.
...Unless, of course, your watching ITV, and they're cropping up every FIVE minutes, rather than fifteen! :P :@
They give you a slight break from the usual crap on the radio and can even make you laugh; on some of the local stations, anyway. On other channels they break up the programs well, also. If you need a pee, you can go. If you want a drink, you can get one.
If you don't like adverts - and, I can certainly admit, there are some terribley annoying ones out there - then, just don't watch them. Take a break, like you're supposed to.

I figure it probably does work.
Sure, some people hate the adverts, I switch channels whenere a mcdonalds advert comes on because I hate their f***ing jingle. And their product.
Maybe if more people did that the tv companies would stop selling tv time to the worst offenders. That'd be nice.
But then, on the other hand are oceans of morons, watching tv for hours every night, soaking up as many commercial messages as the tv can spew into them.
I really hope we don't lose the bbc, or they don't lose the licence fee.
I figure it's well worth the money to be able to watch tv uninterrupted by drivel designed to sell you junk you don't want.
If only they'd get rid of the tv show trailers too...

GIMME AN AMEN, BROTHA!
Yeah, it's true. I often wonder why companies advertise so repetitively.
Normally it's a product we *all* know about, but adverts for it are still rammed down our throats.
Like you said, does it make us rush out and buy it?
Nein.
