Friday - The Power of Adverstising

For the most part I hate ads. I pretty much record all of the TV shows I watch just so I can fast forward through the ads. I find most of them an insult to my intelligence. If I have an advertisement stuffed down my throat over and over again, I become as stubborn as a mule and would not buy the product even if it made my life ten times easier. Some of the worst ads here on TV are the car dealership ones. They seem to think if you add a child or a dog, it will sell more cars. If I can't skip them, I mute them! LOL

This ad for Acorn TV popped up on my Facebook page. I just might have to check it out because then maybe, just maybe, I could watch more of the British shows I like. They offer a month for free. The only thing is, you can only watch online on your computer.

  3. It's annoying when you are waiting for ads to pass and then you realise you are watching a recorded programme....x
