Debate: "That there should be a ban on TV ads." (Positive)?

Question

"That there should be a ban on TV ads." (Positive),PLEASAE PUT SOME GOOD POINTS!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I think that if there was a ban on TV ad we'd all be getting more junk mail, telemarketer calls, radio commercials, and spam. I'd much rather see a product on T.V. than hear about it through any of the other kinds of advertising.

It would be nice to be able to see a show in its entirety start to finish with no interruptions. The shows would have to be longer to fill in for the amount of time that commercials take up. Why can't there just be a channel designated for commercials only?

Answer 2

If anything TV ads should be banned from cable or satellite TV, your paying for the service so there should not be a need to have TV ads

Answer 3

Well no it shouldnt be banned. I hate ads as much as the next person but in reality ads is wot makes the actual tv station stay afloat. Companies pay millions of dollars each year to have their products seen on tv.
Without ads we wouldnt be able to have toilet breaks during our favourite shows either.
So ads shouldnt be banned, but i do htink there should be less of them. Cheers.

Answer 4

here should be a ban on tv ads because:

It would be better for the viewers' blood pressure not to be constantly interrupted with annoying ads during their favourite programs. What makes the impact of advertisemnts worse is that advertisers would rather have an annoying ad that is remembered rather than a great ad that is forgotten. Some advertisements so disrupt the the program that the viewer can't focus on the program.

Human beings need to train their concentration. The constant barrage of ads interrupts concentration. People are being trained by lousy ads to not to be able to concentrate for longer than 15 minutes. The attention span is being reduced.

Television can educate, inform and entertain. With the stranglehold of the advertising industry on what is shown on tv the education and informing part of the medium has been replaced by entertainment. The american culture is being debased. Advertisers would rather produce something like Jackass than an informative, well crafted program on Abraham Lincoln. Would you remember an informative educational program of an hour or a minute long advertisement that cost three times as much as the program to make.

There are lies, damm lies, statistics and advertisments. The constant association of wonderful things with products leads to a deep disatisfaction with people's lives. Look at an advertisement for something like sunglasses. All they do is cover your eyes and protect. No advertisement stresses this. In the ad world sunglasses will have you on a yacht with celebrities. Clothes only cover your nakedness but a clothing ad implies parties and sex.


The television program as an art form with professional writers, actors and directors receives less money than a stupid advertisement on underarm deoderant. So creative geniuses who want to live, spend their time working on advertisements rather than classics.

No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. Advertisers push the boundry on what lows are acceptable.

Advertisers have created an ideal world. The world is carefully researched to find the words and images that will press people's buttons and influence them. For every advertisemnet that you see there is a supporting army behind it that has been trained for years to manipulate people.

All woman in advertisments seem anorexic, all children are smarter than their parents, everyone has wild fantastic sex and no problem ever takes longer than an advertisement to solve. This constant repetition of the "fake" ideal world, created by ad agencies, effects people wrongly.
+Anorexia and other eating disorders stem from people matching themselves up against the professional models and actors.
+Everyone believes that there is a quick fix to long term problems. If someone in an ad gets over their depression in seconds when they get a new brand of coffee people begin to question why their depression requires months of therapy.
+In ad land it is cool to get drunk and become a party animal. So is a DUI conviction cool or not?



Look at how tv ads have debased politics. The race no longer goes to the best person for the job, but to the candidate with the best advertising agency. It is scary that the right to representation, fought for in the war of independence, is manipulated by advertisers who will shave the truth to package and market their candidate. Do you think that an Abraham Lincoln or a George Washington would be elected nowdays with a political campaigns fought by means of tv advertisements? H


How many people cast their vote because of the way they have been influenced by a minute long negative ad.

TV advertising is creating a fictional world of black and white. Most of life is not so clearly defined. The split in America over the last presidential election has been made worse by the ad agencies selling their candidates more effectively than they have ever sold the great constiution and the principles of freedom of speech and the right to have one's own opinion.

TV ads are evil and should be banned.

Answer 5

Unless you want only pay TV I don't see how that is possible. How do you think all the actors and production costs get paid? It's a business, not a charity. The solution, I think, is more entertaining commercials.

Answer 6

No, while somebody says "little person" no one is familiar with precisely what it ability. Are they underweight, small bones, short, whats the deal? If somebody says midget they comprehend precisely what it ability. basically in case you're saying somebody is mentally handicapped human beings decide for to comprehend whats their deal, in the event that they are sluggish, in the event that they cant study, notwithstanding, yet once you basically say retarted theres no confusion. unhappy yet genuine.

Answer 7

Boils down to no ads, no TV. No TV, & you would be on Y answers more.

Answer 8

I think that along these lines, it is atrocious that PBS on tv now has all these ads! They did not used to.

Answer 9

nothing should be banned in the "land of the Free"
