Has marketing ever driven you to avoid a product?

It has many times for me, but the most recent is that motherfucking diet pepsi max commercial with the people yawning. The only time I will ever touch a diet pepsi max is to shove one full of mentos up the ass of whomever pitched that ad.

What about you? What ads have the opposite effect on you?
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

Yes, pretty much all the time! I'm an advertiser's worst nightmare.

In the UK, a well-known brand called 'Branston' released their rival baked beans to Heinz, the highly imaginative razz 'Branston Beans.'
To advertise this 'new' product, a reworded version of Hot Chocolate's 'You Sexy Thing' was used in the TV ad. I hate the original song anyway but the lyrics 'when you try...our saucy beans' were just too pretentious for my liking...so I have avoided them like the plague!

I was also turned off by the advert for 'Frosties' with that irritating teenage boy who couldn't sing screaming out some irritating ditty 'they're gonna taste great.' Oh sorry, it was more like 'gray-ate' when he sang great. Why get rid of Tony the Tiger?

Finally, (prob not quite a product) but even though I'm a younger driver, I would NEVER bother asking Admiral insurance for a quote - that stupid parrot makes me want to kill, kill, kill! lol

Cillit Bang commercials put me off big time from this product but now, after there was a special offer, I relented and to my surprise its quite good. I would have bought it sooner but the guy shouting in the commercial was really irritating...

Ring tones which are utter shit. They are also responsible for the 'Crazy Frog' craze even though its original artist regrets ever drawing it and didnt even call it the 'Crazy Frog;' in the 1st place. They also charge kids extortionate prices to download ring tones, games etc to their mobile phones.

This is the reall, REALLY ugly face of capitalism.

I also hate Ryan Air aswell and swear I will never fly with them.
