I am annoyed by commercials that have children in them. It doesn't matter if it's a commercial about Grape Welchs Juice or Diapers. The children in these commercials are annoying. However, they're especially annoying when they try to pull our heart strings on issues such as social security, the environment, alternative fuels. Good job mom and dad, whore out your children for your own political agenda, they'll grow up to be the next Congressperson and Senators. I dunno, I guess the reason I hate these ads, is that they don't really address the issues, they just there to licit an emotional response. In my own experience, people are mostly irrational when they're emotional. So I'm sorry Timmy, but your plea for me to fight, send money, or whatever to help whatever cause your parents whore'd you out for, doesn't work on me.

Have a nice life as a prostitute Timmy.

Thank you very much for sharing your feelings with us.

Was there a reason for this?

To see if anyone else felt the same way. What do I have to put "thoughts?" at the end of every post now?

Oh and before someone says it, "Get a blog", now that we got that out of the way, back to the discussion.

I agree, its despicable. I would hope people can reasonably consider the effects their actions may (or may not) have on future generations, without having a child or a baby paraded in front of them.

If that's the most frequent response you receive, maybe you should listen.

I'm sure you feel the same way about the right to life and Jesus Camp freaks?

Then we agree. Don't brainwash your children or whore them out for your cause.

On the other hand, using children in commercials is probably the least offensive use of children as political tools. As you note, they are also used to sell grape juice and I doubt it harms them.

Yea, I only listen to family and best friend. Yes, that was meant to be singular, and if you don't fall into the two category, well I'd like to point you towards my "suggestion box" which is nothing more than a paper shredder with a mail slot.

I actually do, and by the by, Jesus Camp scared the Hell out of me. Was it me or did anyone else shat a brick when they prayed upon the cardboard cut-out of George W. Bush? Because not only was that just creepy, but it looked like they were doing the Nazi Salute.

If you "only listen to family and best friend" then why the fuck are you on here asking us for our opinions? If you don't care what I have to say, why do you waste my time by asking me a question?

Cause we are all one big family Neo.

Wilgrove, it's called marketing and yes that is exactly why they do it to get people to associate with that product. Now you may not like it and I hate those ads that have some crazy response, such as the toilet paper ad where the kid trashes the lounge room and the mother just smile (yeah, because that is what would happen). But the dumb masses fall for it and get sucked into the associating with that product.

There you have part of my opinion on it. Just make sure that when you have shredded it recycle the paper.

Because we're such a nice bunch of merry young motherfuckers that he can't help but spill out the contents of his head upon us. Like a cup of coffee of enlightenment passed through the drive-through windows of our computers and spilling across the laps of our souls.

that would explain the burning sensation in my groin.

Erm...I mean..

So now you're bitter about fruit juice commercials? I had money on anger over cereal boxes, damn.

Ok, is there ever going to be a thread in which you aren't going to tell us what you hate about the rest of the world?

Is there something I should know?

should know? Of course you should know. You gave it to me.

I told you not to insert your floppy disk into my drive.

You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!

Most of this shows a poor understanding of advertising, fact is that if an ad doesn't appeal to you then it probably wasn't meant to.

Ads are not made for the amusement of all, they're made for specific demographics, C1 parents 35-55 years old, C2 teenage girls, etc,.

It's almost fitting that Neo Art considers this to be wasting his time, in the same way, it's not necessarily directed at Neo Art.

We sit at the centre of our own personal universe and forget that there's other people out there, with different interests and desires.

Anyway, I don't know why people whine about advertising, it's generally bound by far stricter rules than newspapers, far more moral.

Well, there are the Saw threads, but I think I speak for us all when I say the hate threads are preferable.

Which is about torturing and murdering people, which fits in with the hating the rest of the world.

No, that would be your metaphorical herpes, which represents the shame you're experiencing about contracting herpes and then spreading it on to over 20 people without telling them.

I am just so ANGRY at the small bits of fluff in my sock drawer. I know they are making fun of me, and as soon as I get enough proof those bastards are going out on their asses.

You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!

I might, but I'm comforted by knowing you'll soon follow.

That fluff, I HATE that fluff. It makes me SO MAD.

I think I'm going to go make 10 threads about it.

You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!

It's okay. It happens to a lot of guys. *pat pat*

I envy you that you are able to see it as that.

Hokay, folks.... more than enough.
