TV .

aspiecharles

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?

  • Advertising amuses me a little. We are suposed to be the gullible ones, believing what we hear and taking things litterally, but we can so clearly see through advertising and have the sense to switch off and so protect ourselves from the subliminal elements.

    It used to be said that those with a disability had a compensating strength; Those on the high functioning end of the spectrum, appear to have enhanced intelligence and logic to make up for the deficiencies in connectivity within our brain.

    I agree too about the news. It seams to be more and more "Drop the Dead Donkey", if you remember that old Channel IV series.
