Adverts and blogging

Okay, turns out this whole blogging thing might not be as bad as I first thought, I did make this account when I was very tired and annoyed at life in general, but after thinking about it and thinking about things that I would like to talk about that no one will care about about from you crazy kids on interwebs it doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Right, that was a side note, now to get to the point.

Adverts, everybody hates them and refuses to watch them and everyone knows this, I'm sure even the people that make the adverts know this, every once in a while an advert comes along that we all like and yeah we smile when it comes on (like that Meerkat one, everyone loves that) but I'm sure if even the good ones didn't exist no one would care. Yeah they're there for a reason, to promote the business and products that the business makes but the businesses that can afford to make adverts don't need them! People hear about new products all the time (when I talk about adverts I mean the ones on TV that always interrupt your favourite program) and people will still buy the product if they need/want it. Which bring me to the next question. Why are adverts still on TV? The TV company makes money off them silly! Of course, where would anyone be without money! In fairness that's a true statement, we'd all individually be fucked if we didn't have money but when I say the TV companies get money I don't mean pocket money from your grandparents, I'm talking millions, which, again, seems sill that the businesses will still put adverts on the TV knowing that people don't like and usually don't watch them 'cause either way, the business is still paying out money to the TV company for them to show their advert, plus the money it cost for them to make the advert, getting whoever is the hot topic of the moment in to promote to mindless idiots who think 'ooo well if Cheryl Cole can look like that I can too if I buy what she's saying is right to buy'. Fucking tools. Not the point, adverts are stupid on all fronts.

I've just got a text of my girlfriend, always makes me smile when she texts first.

Novelty adverts, that's my next rant! Adverts that have gimmicks or phrases that people end up saying, for example, the Meerkat I referred to earlier, I do like it I must admit but that is only because I have a soft spot for Meerkat's. The gimmick is that people get confused between 'compare the Meerkat' and 'compare the market'. Don't be so fucking silly no one can get them confused, even so they put this advert out there for the world to see and people always remember the advert and the little 'simples' tag line but how many of those people that recognise that actually bought their car insurance from Compare The Market? I bet next to none, thus, rendering the advert a waste of time and money and that is what the business will be remembered for, in my eyes anyway, that little furry motherfucker. There's plenty more stupid fucking adverts out there too I'm sure you know the ones, the 'Go Compare' one that one about trading in your phone for money where it shows lots of 'everyday' people saying 'SO COOL YEAH, TRADE YOUR PHONE IN AND GET MONEY AND THEN YOU CAN BUY SHIT' obviously with them showing everyday people it means we too can trade our phones in and buy shit. Can we balls.

Anyway, rant over, I hate adverts, they're stupid, annoying and pretty much pointless.

Radiohead are mint.
