The television is often on in our home, but it’s usually background noise. If I do watch television, it’s usually the Discovery Channel. Today is a weekday, so I roamed the channels a few times. After a while, we just rented a movie. Here are 3 reasons why:
ShamWow
I hope this guy squints because someone poked him in the eye.
HeadOn
Self-prescribed after you see their commercial 47 times.
Billy Mays
The only thing this guy should be selling is hair and beard dye.
Terrible advertising is simply manipulation, not marketing. I don’t know what disturbs me more - these commercials or the fact that they must be working.
