Turn on the tv on right now! What do you think will appear on the screen? Maybe the new episode of The Hills, or a re-run of America’s Next Top Model. Your watching your favorite tv show and it comes to a commercial, what do you do? Do you decide to watch the 30 second over played advertisements. Some say commericals ar their favorite part of the tv show! Others hate how their favorite part of the show was interuppted by cheesy ads.
Companies have about thirty seconds to put their most creative advertisemet to try to get the viewer to buy their products! You have the head on commercial where they bluntly tell you that commercials are lame but their product works. Or you may have informational advertisements where they tell you that driving while under the influence is a very hazardous condition, and they would probably give you digits to prove thier point.
I would have to say that advertisements that have sound are more of a chance that of the consmers buying certain products. You could do so much more with showing how their product has an affect that it really does the trick. Paper ads only have the visual aspect to go by, so it may be more of a challenge to get what the company maay want you to think.
Being cool is whats in. If someone thinks something is cool and tells it to a cool person, they would think that it is not all that great anymore. Big companies are full of older people that are not totally hip, so thier idea of cool maybe not be the hottest new fab. Where would they get the ideas of cool, from us young people.
We have the power, companies do not put out products that we do not want to buy. We decide what is cool or not. The people have the money and their free will to buy what ever they want. We could assume that with out consumers, there would be no business.

I definatally agree with you. and I hate when my show gets intrupted by comercials I find it so annoying. I know this is very unrealistic but I think they should just make one channel that plays nothing but commercials so the people can choose weather they want to watch them or not. Haha. That was a good joke.
Katie Stachowicz
OK, Aaron.
haha katie’s right, one channel should just play all commercials. never going to happen but hey we can dream right? it’s the most annoying thing when my favorite shows get interrupted. But then again without these commercials we wouldn’t be told about new products or important global facts. ya know?

You put up a good argument, but I am not sure about that whole they get stuff from “us young people” thing. I mean, older consumers also have influence on the market. Where do all the medication adds come from? Where do the Buick adds come from? If younger people were the only ones who influenced advertising, you would not see too much viagra or buicks ads.

We do have the power in fact that advertisers won’t be selling things that we won’t buy. They know that what they are putting out there, we want, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.
