How do you feel about advertising? Do you find it intrusive or do you like it? Ads may be from TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, Internet, billboards, or junk mail among others. Do you know that corporations are using subliminal advertising more than ever before? Beleive it or not, they are trying to manipulate your mind and spending habits. Do you need all the ads to decide what to buy? Or, would you rather make your own decisions and do your own research to find out what you might like to buy? Any comments are welcome.

i think comercial breaks on tv have gotten too long to enjoy a program and should have been restricted to how much time per hour on how many for how long and not edit for content to satisfy comercial needs

It seems to me that commercials take up about 40% or more of a show's time slot

This is the way people know about a product. It is sure that some sticky adds make people buy product.

I feel that it can be too much and that is has overwhelmed our society. Some of these commericals I see today are not even good ones. Frankly, I just want information and to know whether or not that product is really good or not.

I agree. I want info that I can trust. I am not sure we get that all the time. Thanks.
