		<description>J2R, don't I know it!  Kind of amazing at what people can try to sell you and make you believe you need it too.

		<description>Hi Tara, when I do watch TV, I enjoy commercials that make me laugh, they are entertaining for sure...and I'm sure advertisers use what appeals to kids to get to the parents - have a tantrum in the store, get a toy.  humph have a tantrum in the store - you live there! my kid would try that "i want that" with everything she saw on TV to the point when a commercial came on i would just say:

me - say it
her - say what
me - tell me you want it, let's get it over with

i watched the youtube link you left, funny.  thanks for stopping by.

		<description>I have aways been a sucker for a good food commercial! 

Now, my kids are a different story. Every commercial they see they want. I swear they do it, just so our kids will get all yancy about a new toy and drive their parents crazy to go buy it.

I saw a really funny commercial the other day online, which was really creative...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43MLpdniz_o&#38;feature=related

		<description>SARA, you are right, the best thing is just not to watch, stay off the mailing list and stop catalogs from being delivered to the home but all of that probably won't happen.  Being aware of the tactics used can act like a protective shield. 

DAVINA, hello and welcome. I did read that suggestion as well, to mute the TV commercials.  Emails get me, just a few clicks and my debit card number is stored in my head, it can be sooo easy to get swept up.

ROBIN, yep advertising is everywhere. I don't think anyone is immune, I guess it's the believing part of it all, it does more than inform.

		<description>I don't watch TV these days, but I'm sure the advertising gets to me one way or another - there's lots of advertising around everywhere. Sometimes I notice my thoughts of buying something have been influenced by advertising - but generally I just get what I need (but which brand??)

		<description>I'm with Sandy. My dollars are duct-taped to me lately. When I watch TV I usually hit the mute button when the commercials come on. But, if it's a fun commercial, usually involving animals, then I can't help myself. Are you listening out there all you advertisers??? ha, ha.

I have a history in advertising and I look at commercials more with a creative eye than for the buying factor. I usually know what I want and I don't need a commercial or advertisement to catch my eye. I'm a tough customer! Suspicious of schemes....

		<description>Like everyone, I'd love to say I'm above it, but I'm not. Food commercials are the worst! They get me every time...  It definitely helps to step back and analyze the tactics that are being used or even the font in the text. I'm fascinated by those kinds of details. 

And smell shouldn't be underestimated! I can still identify the smell of Tinkerbell products from I was a kid and they make me swoon with pleasure to this day. Sigh.

Of course, the best tactic is to not watch/listen to commercials. The less TV I watch, the fewer things I want. Well, the fewer ceramic roosters, that is!

		<description>VERED, I'm sure it influences all of us, I just like knowing the tactics of my predator so I can be on the defense.

TOPOLK, that is the end result.  To get our money!  We can go broke thinking we need more stuff because the idea has been planted in our mind that if we don't have it, we're nobody.

BARBARA, sex is the number 1 seller of everything.  They are good and in a way, I bow at their control. Makes me wish I had a store. lol.

RICARDO, I like funny commercials or good ones...that's not really the issue. It's more of an awareness of what is happening.  It's like drifting, you don't know you're doing it until it's too late.  The process is gradual.

LANA, I had to laugh through your post. Advertising is very cleaver.  It's much easier to just tell people to send money to this PO Box, that's what I do.   I have no song and dance, just send money. The land of the fee...lol.  I'm not hating on America, I've been to other countries and we have it pretty good here..but what we value is a little upside down.

SOLOMON, I'm out of the loop myself when it come to commercials..some of them are entertaining and they do what they set out to do.

CARDIOGIRL, so you know what the deal is then...I get excited myself when I get an email advertising stuff from companies I purchased from in the past...there is a rush, then I'm like calm down, they are going to send you this same email in a few days with lower prices. I have to take myself on a few email newsletters.

Marelisa, that's funny. I actually heard a woman on a radio show tell a story of how she bought a ceramic rooster and had no use for it, didn't know why she did it, but was in debt.  That kind of shopping is costly.  The only limited supply we might have is food...we have plenty of junk to sell people.

Sandy, the dollar? lol. You sound like me, I have the dollar, a dollar, nothing more.  That's a good place for it.

JAY, it's an interesting business. I didn't even write about everything I read about. 

Robert, focus.  Oh wait, don't focus, I forgot where I was. Scratch that...okay let your mind wander and when you get back you can join us.  I'm not faithful to too many products, but I'm loving on Tide right now. My budget dictates a lot.


Raise your hand if you're Sure Meleah, the phrases and tunes are catchy and yes I did sing By Mennen when I read it ;)


URBAN Panther, that's funny.  Go out and buy beer any kind will do. ;)</description>

		<description>Actually, the commercials that I love the most because they are clever actually backfire on me because I can never remember what I'm supposed to be buying! All I can remember is how clever they were.  For example, in the I Am Canadian rant I posted last week, all I can ever remember is that it is for a beer commerical. Which one? Not a clue.  But maybe that's good enough...I'm just supposed to go out and buy beer.
