Which car ads drive you crazy?

OK, I"m sick of hearing car and truck ads that say "hurry before they are all gone!"
Or......basically leaves you with the impression that there is a frenzy of people trying to buy them and you better hurry up.

If that was true, why are they spending thousands on ads every 30 minutes and driving you crazy?
Isn't word of mouth enough?

After all.. there are only so many to go around and at those prices everyone will scoop them up right?... why the need for all the ads?

I get sick of them hype, the excitement, and the lies.

How many Toyota Prius ads do you see?
Not many... and when you do, they don't give that false illusion but merely shows you the car.

Another is ads such as being bombarded with "buying Gold"
Why are they spending thousands trying to convince you to buy their Gold?
If its so good to have an keep because the price is going up.. then why are they selling theirs to you?... Why not keep it?

Fact is, the cannot sell at a good price unless they can create a frenzy of buyers.

Funny how the stock market seems to do the opposite of what the news tells you its going to do right? They have to create buyers or sellers so they can do the opposite and get the best price!

Lies and propaganda!

Most things you see on the ads are opposite in reality.

Any time someone spends tons of money to convince you of something, beware and consider " why is it so important to them that they advise me of this?"

Most of the truly good deals in life are never advertised unless its a loved one that tells you.. they are secret or you have to be in the right place at the right time, or you have to think on your feet and use your common sense rather than listen to ads and propaganda letting others think for you and impressing you to believe what they want.

Isn't that where Snake oil salesman came from?

Those who have good deals don't go to you... you go to them!

Ok.. I feel better now... thanks!

 

I'm still waiting for DAR in my car "Digital Audio Recording" so I can prerecord what program I want to have while I drive home from work.
I love good talk shows.

As you know.. the best progs don't always coincide with your travel time.

I"m sure all the commercial lobbyists are trying their best to block it.

 

yea and I wonder how much that cost!

 

Plus when you put it off, it gives you time to see what the competition is all about as well as any negatives.

Get people hyped up on emotion, hit the iron while its hot and hope they don't engage their brain or have time to ask their friends what their buying experience was there!

Make them feel like they are not part of the all knowing mindless crowd and that your missing something if you don't join in!

 

Even though I"m not the brightest bulb on the block, sometimes I'm not in the mood to have my intelligence continually bombarded and insulted every time I come out of my cage and turn on the TV or Radio.
Who do they make these ads for anyway... Kindergartners?

I've discovered that on an intellectual level, ads target either the retarded or the very young... the reason it appears that way is because people make decisions based on their emotions alone rather than sound reasoning. That puts their IQ score very low.

The most expensive ads out there say very little about the product and spend most of their effort getting you to laugh or getting your attention in a shocking enough way that you take notice or appealing to some other emotion like your sense of pride or team spirit or other value system people use that over rides their logical judgments.

Think about the superbowl ads.. they are the worst about being truthful, informative and factual... but they do indeed carry good entertainment value.

Some things in life indeed defy logic, like family ties, religious beliefs and other emotional/spiritual bonds.
But IMO buying a product should first be about logic, then emotions next.
If its the other way around, you may pay a dear price.

There is a reason the car salesman wants you to sit in the seat, feel the wheel, take it for a spin, hear the engine, listen to the sound system, suck in that new smell!... all before you discuss how much the car cost.

Without that emotional bond and connection, many products have little to stand on and they know it.

Toyota is not without emotion too, but its founded on solid facts and a sound track proven product first.

All of us are emotional beings... thats why logically, its silly to get bent out of shape about these goofy ads, but emotionally, its quite silly that we have been reduced to this and that "dear price" bleeds over to us all.

BTW... we pick our politicians the say way.. .but thats another subject.

 

True Daniel.. I will have to figure out how to do that... my phone may be able to suffice for that "its the dare".
I think thats the wave of the future... you don't see commercials yet about it.. but I see the demand already.

As cell phones interface with the navigation console to do phone calls, even so the internet service via the cell phone will interface allowing progs and internet material to be heard... there may be resistance on "viewing" but audio should be easy.
Most of those types of programs are not super time sensitive... even politics can suffer a few days.
Seems its all the same stuff over and over anyway! LOL!
