Is anyone else sick of being blasted with tv commercials for the new and improved you?
Its rare that you can watch a program on tv without watching several of these completely irritating commercials. You know them.
"Bow Flex", probably the longest commercial. Ever. SO irritating. Hearing this guy talk about giving his fat clothes to his fat friends. Bet his "fat friends" love how they are acknowledged. Its seriously a never ending commercial. Guys with abs that are ripped and shiny. Now that is something you see everyday. On this ridiculously long commercial. I think we all agree on this one.
Guys without that type of body probably don't like that "in your face" type of advertising.
"NutriSystem", another annoying commercial. They even have Billy Jean, the old tennis pro, telling how even SHE can do it, so YOU can do it. Its the same thing, over and over. "Pasta, burgers and chocolate". They all lost the magical 40 pounds. Its that easy. Yeah, right.
Anyone with weight to lose probably loves this "in your face" type of advertising. I especially love it when I'm eating a bowl of ice cream when it comes on. I want to throw my bowl at the tv.
"Bosley", the fix for balding men. Now I admit, I don't see this too often, but I cringe to think of the balding men that would most likely love to have their hair back, but #1 can they afford it and #2 does it really work like they say? The men on the commercial boast about running a comb through their now thick head of hair! Really?
I'm not balding and it makes me uncomfortable watching it.
"Pro Active", the acne treatment that magically makes all acne disappear! Jessica Simpson is proof! Yeah, right. If it was that easy, my son would'nt have had to spend so much time and money on treatment with a dermatologist.
I'm also sick of "Angie's List" commercials. These are not about self-improvement, but about letting people know about different home services out there. I'm really sick of the one with the lady who has her trusted plumber at her house and she is running late from work, but unfortunately, no one told her 2 year old papillon Molly. WHO CARES! Most people know someone that knows someone who is a plumber. Don't need Angie's List, thank you very much.
How about "Head On", which I don't see as much anymore. That commercial made me want to throw my remote at the tv when it came on. "Head On" "Head On" "Head On". It probably said that no less than 10 times in each commercial. Makes me want to write to the their corporate offices to let them know that I will purposely NEVER buy their product due to the fact that their commercials are most annoying.
Oh! I can't believe I almost forgot about this one.
The moving/dancing/flashing ads that appear on web pages. You know 'em. They get your attention by having their cartoonish girls dancing in their dumb ads. A girl dancing all over, so you'll look at the MORTGAGE ad. Another dancing so you'll look at the car insurance ad. Its seriously annoying. Again, I want to let these people know that I will not entertain the idea of checking out their offer due to the annoyance of their ads.
So there.
Maybe I watch too much tv.
