TV .

Is it just me or does anyone else find TV adverts unbearable ? I'm not sure if it's an aspie thing or if it's a more general feeling but I cannot abide most tv adverts. The way they are directed at certain types of people (mostly people who don't think for themselves) and spoken in the most ridiculas accents with rising inflections at the end of each sentance. They presume that we are all a bit thick and will be impressed by their stupid presentation. I know companies have to advertise things in order to sell them but do they need to be so over patronising about it ? I have got to the stage now that I turn off the volume on the tv when the adverts come on otherwise I get so annoyed.  Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

  • I quite agree. Occasionally there is a good one, but generally they are annoying. I often use the TV mute button, make a cuppa, do a bit of a crossword and resume watching when the program restarts. Even BBC is not safe, with long boring trailers for programs I do not want to watch. The alternative is to record the program and fast forward the adverts. You are probably just more intelligent than the target audience. Smile
