I hate em 
I find them so damn insulting! I mean we *know* they are trying to throw their product in our faces, theyre not fooling anyone with their subtle hints and subliminal messaging.
If they were honest about it, that would be one thing. If they just stated the facts: "Product X will do this, and has been proven to do that, heres why it is a superior product to our competitors"
But they do all these sneaky tactics that they *think* are fooling people
They try being serious, they try comedy, they try sex appeal, they try adds that make no sense whatsoever and they make millions.
People are obviously falling for this stuff, but lately I just seem to see through it more. I mean its so sickeningly commercial...
Some adds I like, they can be genuinely funny, but its a rarity, and they tend to lose their appeal once youve seen them 30 odd times...
Thoughts?
