Adverts Influence You

Have you noticed when watching TV the sound is at the volume that you have set it at; and then, as the adverts are on, the TV sound automatically goes up in volume to make sure you are paying attention. I'm sure the adverts are recorded at higher volumes deliberately to attract your attention.

Most of the adverts exaggerate the benefits you're meant to get by buying the product. Why can't they be more honest?

For instance:
Do you have a big backside?
Our corset will only help make it look smaller. 
For real results try going on a diet.

Cream will help hide away the wrinkles of ageing. 
You must not be ugly to start with.
We do our best
Nature does the rest.

Eat Jumbo Burgers for a more rounded figure.
You'll have sex appeal for women who do not care.

HUMPS for men.
The after-shave lotion that smells like a camel.
Efficient insect repellent.




For your building project
Call LUCIFER CONSTRUCTIONS
The builders from hell !!!

Pizza like Mamma used to make.
With extra additives, preservatives and colourants.
Our cheese tastes like Heaven.

BRIGHTO TOOTHPASTE
Turns dirty teeth and an ugly smile
into
Little cleaner teeth and still an ugly smile.


DENTAGLU
For that smile you'll be stuck with.

AND FINALLY

Here's an HONEST advert I made myself

    1. No ... not directly. I was in management in a large organisation and knew some people in marketing and advertising.

      God bless you, Martha.

  2. Having worked nearly 10 years in television ad sales, I sure enjoyed these; in particular: "We do our best. Nature does the rest."
    TRUTH in advertising at last! That should go right hand-in-hand with 'ethics in journalism.'

    1. It's surprising how many adverts on UK TV exaggerate the benefits of the products, Mevely. So I thought I'd restore the balance with my own adverts.

      God bless.

  3. I always thought the advertisement volume goes up so you can still hear it while in the bathroom! LOL Thanks again for the good chuckles, Victor!

  4. I am not a fan of ads and tend to ignore them. To me, they are a waste of my time. I use to know someone who worked on ads and it all seems fake. Buy this, buy that. No thank you, goodbye. :)

    1. I wonder if the price of the products would reduce a lot if there were no adverts, Bill. Some of the adverts are very elaborate using celebrities which must cost a lot.

      God bless.

  7. If the advertising people followed your 'honesty' policy there would be very few products sold.

  9. It's funny but the advertisement volume goes up every time I go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea :)

    1. I'm sure they are recorded deliberately loud, Jan. It is so irritating.

      God bless you, Jan.
