You know what bugs me, it is those adds
on telly that are selling things like “Nude” make
https://www.nudebynature.com.au/
or “Rapid Loss”
https://rapidloss.com.au/,
what it is that bugs me is that they say on the adds “for a limited
time” or “ending soon”.
How long is a limited time and when is
soon when ending soon, they have been saying these things for the
last 5 years or something like that. Every time the add comes on I
mute it as I am so sick of hearing it. When they say ring in the
next 10 minutes and run the add 4 times in an hour it is just beyond
a joke. We all know that these things are not ending soon and we know
it doesn't matter if we ring in the next 10 minutes or the next 10
hours we will still get the same deal.
I also hate it when they say it is a
free trial, because let's be honest nothing is free, they will send
you the products and you pay for postage but then after a couple of
weeks you have to either return the product or pay for it and the
cost is usually in the hundreds of dollars. I feel they should tell
you on the add how much it will actually cost you and not lead some
people to think it is only going to cost say $20 for postage.
I have heard of people who have in fact
thought the cost was only the small amount they have paid for postage
and got a nasty shock when they realised that it would end up costing
them a couple of hundred dollars.
I am sure I am not the only person who
is annoyed by these adds, yeah I know the business are just trying to
make money but they are annoying and they have been around for so
bloody long.
We hate all adds. they interrupt the shoe. They are louder than the show and they are mostly a load of rubbish. We mostly watch the ABC or record shows with adds and then fast forward the adds. We usually watch Seven News and then we mute the adds too.
ReplyDeleteYes I so agree I understand why there are adds but they are all rubbish and so bloody loud it isn't funny
DeleteI have a DVR. I think it costs $5/month. It's worth it. I zip through commercials.

Yes when I record shows I fast forward through the add as well
DeleteThe only thing that keeps the volume on for me is the thought of how many idiots out there believe the "limited time" speil. Same with the ads to "buy silver because the price is going to double."
ReplyDeleteI hate ads as well... LOVE not having cable and just using netflix hah ano commercials :) BLISS.
ReplyDeleteDon't have netflix here in Australia
DeleteI hate any add that has the sound of a carnival barker. (I don't know if thats what they are called in Australia but it's the guy that tries to get you to come into the sideshow). There just seems to be something sleazy about it. I wouldn't never order something without knowing the long term cost to it.
