well about an average of 15 minutes is spent on product and tv endorsements for a one hour show ere in the country... I guess that is onsdered very infuential dont you think?
Well do you sometimes see some food in commercials and you thought you would try it out... Hehe well what do you think? Are you sometimes a victim of these ads, somehow?

One or two TV adverts can be interesting and some very amusing, but I never take them as absolute truth. I will check something out sometimes I have seen on TV, but will make up my own mind of whether or not I would make a purchase on the strength of the advert.

...Hi there chiyosan, I don't detest a lot of things, but commercials are somerthing that I really usually detest. Sometimes there might be one that I will listen to if it catches my attention. But most of the time I mute the sound and just wait until whatever I am watching returns. I consider commercials an invasion of privacy,
I also understand that they are the reason the show I am watching is on, but I don't care, it is still an invasion of privtacy. You take over my television, when
I am not interested in what you are selling.
I especially hate the commercials where things are running all over the person's body like worms or something, just a turn off, or the ones with the disgusting germs running all over the hands. Please. So I hate commercials. Some of the claims made are preposterous as well, they lie. Cheers.

I don't just believe in TV commercials right away. Of course I would want to hear from other people regarding the feedback of the product before believing that it is effective.

Well they are really influential when endorsing a new product. But if its a direct competitor of a brand that i am fond off then i will not be influenced by it.
For example shampoo I have used the same shampoo in 10 years i think or more.

Hi, I will say, I'm also a victim of tv commercials. Television is the most influential invention ever made, that's why it is very easy to influence here. I don't believe in many products now that was shown in tv, I always research first for the real quality products before believing and buying. :)
