Please Don't Run That New TV Ad To Boredum

    The new Hyundai ad I saw today on tv is pretty good.

    Imho, tv ads have a tendency to reverse psychology, when they get
    sickening from repetition, redundancy, reiteration, repeating

    Just a thought the marketers oughta consider in planning spot ads

    The last book I recall reading about advertising of cars was by Vance
    Packard in the 1950s, so I may be foolish to think that the public
    doesn't mind being bombarded by the same commercial over 'n over

    By-the-way: For avoiding tiresome ads is why the deity gave mankind the
    remote clicker & TIVO

    Years ago, before the remote clicker, we had a thing on a console tv
    with a cord that could turn down the sound, without having to get-up to
    do so

    Perhaps it was called THE COACH POTATOS BEST FRIEND, though this was
    before the phrase "couch potatoe"...was known & infamously misspelled
    by the VP

    The new Hyundai commercial sorta starts in San Francisco, then sorta
    goes to the midwest, and ends at the state of the art plant in Bama

  2. I know what you mean. I switched to Vonage back in October and while I
    love the service I doubt I'd went with it if that damn TV commercial of
    theirs had been out at the time.
