I don’t care how advertisers feel. I’ve been telling them for decades that their ads have zero effect on me. That it just pisses me off.
When I go into a grocery store, I have a list. If it’s not on that list, I’m not buying it. The list was prepared weeks ago, and added as I run out of things. Doesn’t matter if you show 100 ads. I’m not paying attention. Even though you paid money to show the ad, I still didn’t see it. What difference does it make if I’m alive? Either way I didn’t see the…uh…what were you selling again? It was a commercial for Jesus? See, this just shows how little I pay atttention to ads. I saw the superbowl, and I’m fairly sure one of the commercials was for Jesus. I’m unclear how one would buy Jesus, but that was the ad.
Tell ya what advertiser industry. I’m going to do your job for you. I’m going to make sure every single person pays attention to every ad you ever put out. Are you ready for this? Here we go.
The screen fades in from black to a closeup of some tittys. They’re bouncing around, and women are moaning. Then they start moaning “OOOOOHHHH, YEEEAAAAHHHH BUY OUR PRODUCT, BUY THE PRODUCT! OOOOHHHHH!”
Remember, tittys are still bouncing. You put the product in the center of the screen.
You just made a billion dollars!
The average person has less self-control than you, sadly.
Being influenced by ads is not some moral failing.
I really doubt people who think they have some special willpower to resist advertising. Advertising isnt simply “go buy this particular thing”. Brand recognition alone is very powerful.
The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising, i highly doubt it. The lack of self awareness makes me think they are MORE succeptible to ads than the average person.
Yep. They only buy things on their list, okay.
So which brand of that thing are you going to buy? The one you recognize most and are most familiar with, maybe?
Idiocracy was a great documentary of our future.
