Is it just me?

I mean there are only so many times that you can hear a driver say,“Yeah we had the Chunky Soup, Preparation H, Sears, Coca-Cola, Piggly Wiggly, Off bug spray, Degree, Doritos, Chico’s Bail Bonds, Old Spice, Dodge running good today.” It is the blatant inundation of advertising that should make the person doing it feel like a trick who is being pimped out. It kinda sickens me.

The Nestea ads at least had the advantage of bikini clad women jumping around in them! :o)

I don’t mind all the advertisements. I mind that they are all THE SAME ONE. I mean is it too much to ask for a little variety?

With things like deodorant, I have a brand that I use and like. Seeing an advertisement, no matter how many times, and regardless of who is doing the advertising, will not change that.

Like I said above in response to somebody else, I don’t care as much about the ads themselves just that they are all the same one.

Zumone had one up. Where did it go?

It makes me long for the days of the punching kitten……(p.s. by saying that I am really hoping that somebody posts one in the comments section)

Thank you thank you thank you thank you sireric for bringing the furious punching cat back into my life.

Hands down my favorite thing on Rumblings, comments, stories, advertisements you name it. It is AWESOME. I….can…not…stop….looking….at …it…….

Thanks K!

Gotta show it to my cat.

but think about this:

A week from now you are at the grocery store doing routine shopping. You stop in the deodorant section to pick up your brand like you always do, but while searching for it, you also see Degree Adrenaline on the shelf. You know your brand, like your brand, and fully intend to buy your brand. BUT, as your eyes pass over the Degree Adrenaline, you remember your annoyance over having Bear Grylls’ face plastered all over your favorite non-porn website. Despite that annoyance, are you telling me that you’re not at least a little curious about how it smells? Don’t you think you’ll at least take the cap off and smell it in the store?

I don’t doubt your ability for spite, sireric. Even if you take that whiff and LOVE the smell, I don’t doubt that you’ll stick with your old brand out of principle. However, not everyone will be as spiteful as you.

How many times do we go into the deodorant isle, ignore every other brand on the shelf, and grab our brand without a second thought? It’s because our minds have not created any sort of memory or connection with the other brands. But now that we’ve all been exposed to this barrage of Degree Adrenaline on Buffalo Rumblings, our minds won’t be able to block it out on the shelves. And when we notice it, some of us won’t be able to resist the curiosity to smell it. And of those who break down and smell it, a few are going to like it. And of the few who like it, some won’t be spiteful. Those are the people who will buy it.

This shotgun blast of advertising from Degree is doing exactly what it’s meant to.

now not know

Chrome has it too: ad block

Happy ad-free reading!

Yep – thanks a ton! Loads much faster now. To be honest, I never really noticed any of the ads, just how long the page took to load.

Yeah really. Go pimp the Jets somewhere else.
And btw, BuffaloOwdaTwnr being inundated with ads for the jets will not make me sniff them in the grocery store either.
