Any ad where they have annoying kids acting like adults. Like that one for the car with the little boy who is like 2 years old 'driving', and that one with those annoying little buggers advertising the diy stuff. Those ads are not cute, and I don't care what anyone else says - my sister thinks they're brilliant. I just want to smash the tv when I see them, and I'm not a violent person!

The pacific blue ad. Bunch of fucken morons on a plane.

I'm with you on that one! I flew Cairns to Melboune with Virgin Blue (the Oz version of Pacific) and it was teerrrible. The plane was exactly like the one in the commercial and felt scarily old. Staff were crap, but thank

i hate the ads for shit like 'detox' or lemon diet. so many dumb cunts...

Yes Yes Yes to that!! How many diets need to be advertised...."delish shakes to fill you up" FFS people! The prices on these are bloody horrendous too; about $4 bucks per shake & $5-6 per bar. Cheaper to get a tub of protein with a decent amount of carbs in it.

And Tony Fergusson, what an advocate! Old prune!

Love the small print on these ads; Weight management programs take time and commitment to be effective, and also require diet, exercise and lifestyle changes. Ask your doctor or healthcare professional for advice ...taken directly off the Tony Ferg website.

I don't have a TV it's great- no ads! ever!

I'm with Vee. TV makes you fat, the medium not the content. Aside from the fact it's *all* shit. Haven't watched TV in years :grin:

"Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (1977) is a book written by Jerry Mander which argues that there are a number of problems with the medium of television. Mander argues that many of the problems with television are inherent in the medium and technology itself, and thus cannot be reformed.

Summary

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television argues that the technology of television is not a neutral, benign instrument or tool. The author argues that in varied technologies and institutions such as militaries, automobiles, nuclear power plants, mass production, and advertising, the basic form of the institution and the technology determines its interaction with the world, the way it will be used, the kind of people who use it, and to what ends.

The author argues that far from being "neutral," television predetermines who shall use it, how they will use it, what effects it will have on individual lives, and, if it continues to be widely used, what sorts of political forms will inevitably emerge.

The author's first argument is that while television may seem useful, interesting, and worthwhile, at the same time it further boxes people into a physical and mental condition appropriate for the emergence of autocratic control.

The second argument concerns the emergence of the controllers. That television would be used and expanded by the present powers-that-be was inevitable, and should have been predictable at the outset. The technology permits of no other controllers.

The third argument concerns the effects of television upon individual human bodies and minds, effects which fit the purposes of the people who control the medium.

The fourth argument demonstrates that television has no democratic potential. The technology itself places absolute limits on what may pass through it. The medium, in effect, chooses its own content from a very narrow field of possibilities. The effect is to drastically confine all human understanding within a rigid channel. What binds the four arguments together is that they deal with aspects of television that are not reformable."
