TV Ads......What you hate.......Are there too many?

Ones I hate? The stupid HP photo printer ads with the little frames, that go on, and on, and on.........all the Comcast ads...........all the Erectile Disfunction ads, feminine hygine, etc. ................that they run at mealtime! All ads that run the same commercial more than 5 times in an hour!

Back in "the day", TV ads ran at the top of the hour, 15 after, the half-hour, and 15 minutes before. They ran for 2 minutes!

Now advertising runs 20 minutes of every hour show..........some cable stations such as TNT and Spike TV are even worse, especially at late night. They have commercial free music stations, why not commercial free TV?

I for one, think it is out of control!


I hate all the Jewlery (diamonds) ads for any holiday! "Marry me again?"

I hate the ads for "Sandals", Jamaica, and other exotic resorts.

I hate the new "Comcastic" ads that break over other ads! They're "Comcastic"

I hate all the ED ads.........I guess "everyone" has it by now! ED, the new Aids?

Dietech....when will it ever end?................and that damn psycho Burger King figure!

Valentines.......and soon Easter......stop the madness!

I don't want commercials on Pay TV...I don't want commercials at the Movie Theater (man was I shocked and pissed when they started doing that! The last time I went to the movies, about a month ago.....the first 15 minutes were commercials! before the previews)

I guess I need to read more......with classical jazz playing in the background!

Ameriquest Financial Services.......that show all those old hippie types and slackers back in the 1960-70s who sold out and are now the yuppies wanting to live the "good life" in their golden years.

Former Manufacturers Representative

I was a Manufacturers Rep for several years and a member of The Denver Advertising Federation.

I sold Exposystems Modular Tradeshow displays at one time. Most of my products were architectural materials....Skylights, glazing plastics, and other building supply related items.

I worked in the State of NY, then moved to Colorado and had Arizona, New Mexico as my territory. I can claim clients such as Coors Brewery, State of New Mexico, Vail ski area, and Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle.

It was fun, but hard work, with small compensation for all the travel.
