Rant 69 - 09/3/12 Subject: Reusing irritating advertisements

Rant number 69


Advertising is an under-riding to some of my more recent rants. The reason for this, is simple: Adverts are annoying.

They rarely work on me in the way they should (They might make me want a coffee for instance - but I won't buy theirs on principal.) And they are just everywhere these days. On TV, DVD's, at the Cinema, on billboards, on busses, in the papers and no doubt in fewer years than any of us would wish - they will be projected onto our eyes by tiny robots the size of a virus.

Imagine that if you can, tiny robots beaming shite into your eyes while you are working, eating or - I dunno, licking a parrot. Terrible in any situation!

Anyway, onwards with the topic proper.

Advertising (as I have pretty well established,) is just awful, and there is only one thing more annoying than a new advertisement.

Do you know what that is boys and girls?

Yep, the same old fucking adverts year after bastard year.

If it didn't work then, its not going to work now. Give me the respect of at least trying to come up with new ways to try and convince me out of my hard earned dosh.

I understand that adds are expensive, but so is TV time - so its not worth skimping is it? Why not try something new. Many adds that work well are - in fact not terribly expensive (look at all those bastard go compare adverts (which must cost all of about £20(most of which goes on the catering for the stupid fat fuck who keeps singing)) and how big a household name they have become now!)

Stop phoning it in and showing me the same tired old shit. Try harder - other people are getting it right, but you aren't!

Rant over
