How do you feel about television commercials?

Sex and mild erotica is widely used tool for advertisers. It not only catches the attention of the audience but also makes those commercials the talk of the town. I am sure you can remember quite a few times when you have found people discussing an ad cauz of its erotic nature. I love the ad of naukri.com (a job search site) in the ad an employee spells the name (Mr Hari) of his boss as H for Hitler A for Arrogant R for Rascal and I for Idiot, it is a funny ad and has a very strong message. I personally think people using sex for advertisement believe strongly that " Sex Sells" I think they don't want to put in extra effort to make a good commercial and rely on sex. I want to buy something when the price is less than the value OR the value is more than  the price :)

Believe it or not several survey sites can set you up to view commercials and get your opnion before they air.

Sometimes, but negative ads really push me to try to find the good things in that person.  I really think that negative ads should be illegal.  I could watch TV all day long and only know the bad things about candidates.  I would like to know the plans of the future leaders in my area, instead of the petty fines one candidate had 20 years ago.  I am so sick of commercials that I have stopped watching TV for the two weeks before the election.

Believe it or not there ARE remote places in the USA that have no TV reception (I live in one) so I have never seen (or even heard of) the aforementioned commercial.  I couldn't watch TV if I wanted to (unless I want to pay for cable or a satellite dish).  In many ways I consider myself fortunate, I don't get the daily subliminal "mind f**k" others do and I can actually accomplish things that need to be done around here.

True... did you ever notice that most of ads depict the men/fathers as ignorant boobs saved by their intelligent all-knowing wife?\n\nSo Sweetness, its okay to have sexism in advertising provided is against white males because after all it was the other way around for so long.  Did you ever learn that two wrongs do not make a right?  \n\nIn actuality, the sexism against males and females in advertising and usually depends on the target audience of the product/service.   If the target is a female, then the male is often portrayed in a negative light (although usually in a humorous way.)  If the target is a male, then the commercial often reverses it so that the female is the target of sexism. \n\nDo you think either practice are less wrong?

LOL not to a mom who is holding a paper butterfly and a very lumpy thing I think is supposed to be a vase both of which made me cry.\n\n Yes the commercials and print ads try to guilt you into buying expensive gifts for your mother.  But no matter how old your kids are the most important thing for any mother is just to feel special and appreciated.

Only one!?\nI feel sorry for the foolish prats who think a product is desirable because the music in the background is 'cool', or 'awesome'\nIronically, it usually shoots sales of the song up, rather than the product being advertised.\nWhat a sorry state of media-controlled-crap-life we live in.\nAs for the question, you tell me.

I have seen this commercial. All us girls at the office watched it together.  It is really amazing and kind of depressing that the media would spend it's time poisoning our minds with false images, just page through any Glamour or Vogue magazine.\nThen society demands that we strive to achieve these airbrushed images of perfection without the benefit of our own airbrush.

I agree with the comment above. Also a higher frequency  will lead to a higher memory rentention on the commercial's message. If you can only air your ad once during Idol then chances are your target market won't remember the ad. Not only are you trying to grab the target markets attention you are trying to compete with other ads during that same time slot.

I kinda get really pissed off.  I begin to sulk and threaten to write all the affiliates.  Then I get really happy.  I start to shake a little...get a little squeaky...and then I do jumping jacks naked in the dark.  All in all, that's how I feel when my favorite TV station pre-empts a show from the networks!

My husband has worked in radio for 25 years.  He says radio is the best form of advertising because it is the only legal form of subliminal advertising there is.  Your radio is always on.  You may not consciously be listening to the commercials, but your brain is hearing them anyway!\n\nHumerous commercials, either on radio or TV, always make me stop what I am doing and pay attention, because I have a very stressful life and I can use all the humor I can get.
