I hate it when you are going on a webpage and a big thing pops up on your screen, and you have to look for the littel tiny close button to click on to make it go away. I don't care what they are selling. If I didn't go to their website, then I don't want to see their ad! Also, I just don't like commercials on television at all. I record almost everything I watch on my DVR so that I can FF thru all of them.

Any type of medication advertisement. For example, I bet I can name about 80 different prescriptions from Liptor to Zoloft. It seems like there's a pill for any ailment. It's great if they got something to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's' but do we need 5 pills to make you lose weight?

all the stupid "Mor furniture for less" commercials!! theyre always ranting about "no interest till 4 years from now". what a load of B.S. and they're on so frequently.
its hard to believe you need to qualify to buy furniture as if u were buying a damn car.
and those weight loss infomercials...uuhhh!!

The random ones like commercials that will show a bunch of people laughing at a party and then be for a vacuum or something crazy like that.

BILLY MAYES HERE! SELLING OXI-CLEAN!
That loud person in the commercials named Bill Mayes who always yells.
The most annoying way of advertising of all time is spam e-mail on e-mail accounts as well as MySpace. I find it quite rude and will never buy anything from them.

Well I hate them all that everyone has listed, it seems they covererd them all! But what most people don't really understand about commercials, is the companies and businesses spend millions of dollars for the commercial time and ads, but the big picture is that there businesses and companies are hurting for sales! but the problem isn't even that, the problem is, the huge problem for them companies and businesses are that they raised there prices on there products and services to high and so fast in such a short time, that now they can't get enough sales!
So they come up with all the sales tactics they can to make sales, but the part I can't understand is, why they'd go so public showing everyone how bad of a business person they are and that they have no idea on how to run there business and service to the max of maxium sales! Example to show facts: If a brand new Cadilac went on sale for good. for $15,000 instead of the $35,000 high buck regular price!
How many caddies would be sold the day of the permanent price drop! ( around 500 or more day) How many do they sell at regular price of the high buck price of $35,000! before the big price drop! About 5 - 10 a week if there lucky! Businesses could careless of loyal customers, they all have adopted greed into there businesses and that's why they have to have sales all the time, because they are all failures to there own businesses! 40,000 businesses close up everyday in the United States! WHY, Bad business practice! Sell High,Work less, and way less employees to pay! Lots more money in the owners bank account! But it's very short lived before reality hits them samck in the face, then Comes the Sales week after week after week, FOREVER til they close there doors! from failure!
Businesses have taken on the new business money train ride! But very short lived! Product demand, skyrockets in sales, Prices skyrocket just as fast! There mono of running a businesses today is when demand goes up, the price goes up just as fast! and that's why businesses need to have commercials, newspaper ads, magazine ads! all because there failures for real success of running there business the true and honest way! There here today and gone tomorrow!
And most people don't even know what happens after a sale on a product, the price is raised higher then it was the day before the sale!!! It maybe only 10 cent more, but it could also be as high as 95 cent more! Sales are also a cover up to raise the price! And the worst part of the whole ordeal is consumers can make or break any business! but they don't, they just complain and buy anyway!
If consumers are fed up with high buck prices! all they have to do is just not buy, and prices will drop like an atomic bomb! Businesses need us all to buy there products and services to stay in business, but if we all get sick and tired of being robbed blind on there products ! all we all have to do, is just don't buy them and we all will see big price changes, but until everyone gets sick and tired of throwing all there hard earned money away, the prices will just keep climbing!
Consumers don't really know how much they over pay for an item when they buy it! Here's one example that just might get your dander up, but it's the real facts! Say you bought a 55 gallon aquarium and stand and all the stuff you needed to set it up to have it ready for fish in about 3 days! Your grand total with out the fish! would be around $500! All the store owner paid was around $150- $175 for all of the stuff he or she sold you to get the whole tank all set up, ready for fish! Now you have to buy the fish, say you bought 6 angel fish , a few neons and about 10 other kinds of fish, your total came to $195 including the food for about a week or 2! the store owner only paid about $30 to $50 for what you just paid him $175 for!
Now don't get me wrong, I believe they should make a profit to stay in business, but to literally rip people off, is highway robbery! No matter how you look at it! just doubling the price of what they have to pay would be high enough! but see they all got greedy and we all pay through the nose for everything today! and the only way to stop the skyrocketing prices we have to deal with today, is quit buying, buy only things you have to have! It's the only way to fix the high buck prices!
So from now on, don't get mad at seeing commercials! laugh your a-- off knowing that business is hurting for money!!!
