Title Annoying TV Ads
Content Why do TV stations insist on playing the same ads over and over again... and always the most annoying ones!
Here's some ads that have really annoyed me recently:


So You Think You Can Dance (Australia) - This ad is so repetitive
and the song..... the song is so very very annoying. It must get played
at least once every second ad break. Very very annoying.
Life On Mars - Another ad with an incredibly annoying
soundtrack. That song, aptly titled 'Life On Mars' (I think) is so
shrill. It feels like my ear drums are about to bleed.
The 'Back Soon' thingy on ten - "ahhh oooooh..... ahhhhh oooooo"
over and over again! You know what I'm on about - when they show you're
watching goes to an ad break and we get informed that our show will be
'back soon'. Every year or so every station changes they little 'back
soon' jingle and they still have never got it right. Always so very
annoying.
Lie To Me - hurry up and start the show already! Enough with the
publicising. We know he can tell if you're lying and he'd probably be
good at poker. but seriously, how long can a show like that last? Every
episode will end with... "yes, he's lying! I can see it all over his
face"... duh! Boring.


How about a rating then? It's hard to even discriminate between the
three ads already mentioned. They're all so annoying, but I'll give it
a shot:


So You Think You Can Dance (Australia) - 4/5
Life On Mars - 5/5
Back Soon - 3/5
Lie To Me - 3.5/5

Comment Can't say that I really notice ads.. I tend to automatically tune them out Smile  Or walk away and do something else while the ad is on (like check IRC!)

Comment mmmm personally I don't watch too much Australian tv...
I find it too annoying... the ads last too long and are too frequent!
I just rent a movie or go to the cinema if I'm interested in something!
Good luck Channel 10, 7 and all the rest! Big Smile
