i am with ya.. i am sick of late night "make your wang bigger" pill ads.. i am fine thanks. i always wondered though if that guy that does the enzyte (sp?) ads ever gets stopped on the street and asked if he is the teeny weeny guy.. and what is with that psychotic grin he always has on his face..

and i am really sick of those stupid "girls gone wild" ads.. and its every commercial break on some channels.. should be called "girls that are probably riddled with STDs now"..

but the ones i am most sick of is the lose 20lbs in a week pills... ugh get real.. no pill is gonna eat up all the food you just put in your stomach...
diet and exercise.. its been effective for ages.. or surgery if that isn't working..


anyway no i buy nothing off TV 1-800 ads..

Not I.

I was LOL at PD's first paragraph! And I really hate when I wake up in the early morning hours to realize I've left the TV on and some stupid "Girls Gone Wild" ad is blaring. Gimme a break!

I think there is more ad time than the time allowed for the actual shows.

Sometimes if I'm watching something I flip the channel and forget where I was.

How about 'head on, head on, head on'; totally crazy. I guess it's about getting our attention and that one did get mine.

I hate it.

I guess all we can do is tune out or turn off.

If we write to complain they know we are listening and they got their message out.

Gotta love those GGW ads on Spike TV late at night when you're watching TV...and they really pump up the volume!!

Actually it's better on cable than regular tv. It stinks that you have to see ANY commercials on cable though, when you're paying to watch it. Hmph.

But I gotta say, no wonder people think they're sick - all the meds all day on tv. I know a woman who sees that stuff and thinks she has every disease known to man.

LOL No! Commercial brainwashing! Just a strong believer in the best way to advertise is a good safe product! If your screaming about it on tv? Probably not worth the money.
