Boycott Bad Advertising - by Single Bloke

Welcome to BBA

May 19th 2007 02:52
The World as we know it is turning more and more into one gigantic advertising space. Not many of us like it, but it seems that we are just going to have to live with it. But we can fight back against it in our own litte way and this is mine.

Advertising is hard to ignore. Its in our faces all day, on TV, on Billboards, in newpapers and magazine, its all over the internet and even our clothing is adorned with it. Whether we like it or not, Advertising is EVERYWHERE! And so much advertising that we see is truly horrendous. We don't like to put with crap in other facets of our lives, so why should we put up with it in the things that are forced upon us, trying to get us to buy their product? We Shouldnt!


So I say we should all start boycotting the products advertised with truly horrible advertising - bad slogans, awful ads, cliched junk, bad acting, whatever it is you don't like about advertising.

Am I suggesting we stop consuming? Hell No. What I would like to see is a turnaround - if you were planning to buy a product that is being badly advertised, buy a similar product from their nearest competitor! That'll teach the bastards for polluting our brain-spaces with their Mind-Spam! Yeah!

Hate an Ad? Let me know – it can go on the list of ads that right now are worth boycotting! Then all you have to do is make sure you either don't buy it at all, or that you buy a competitor's product instead.
