Dear Adsters

Ads have to be there, but if you're like me, you pay little attention to them. If I could write a letter to the ad folks, it would go something like this. Dear Adsters, I find most, nay, all of your ads unappealing. It isn't because of the product necessarily, or the cost you go to in putting out these things. It's the interruption that gets me. Your nuisance ads that are shown during commercial television runs, are so repetitive that not only do I either get up and go away, or I mute them. I have given up on all of commercial television because, really, I prefer the stations I have to pay for. It's all because of you. One day recently, while baking bread or some other kitchen matter, and to ease away the kneading and prep time, I turned on regular television.  I haven't watched it for months but because I thought I'd dip into  Dr. So and So and that ilk, to pass the time, I might  see something new. Nothing was new and the ads between the few minutes of the actual "show" were insultingly rampant. They were like basketball shots: fast, colourful, numerous and too iffy to have any real meaning. Another session during which I was waiting for the dryer to finish, I sat down to pick up one of my past favorite series. Much as I once loved the sitcom, I had to stop and and return to my pay channel where I am not bothered by continuous ads. I simply couldn't stand the interruptions where ads  nagged at me every few minutes taking away any pleasure or purpose in watching for an hour, a half hour show. Why should I waste my time being forced to look at the same ads flicking away repeatedly every few minutes. Talk about water drip torture! The bottom line is I DON'T CARE for your ads and I DON'T WANT THEM.  I care even less for the product because you, insult me. Once is enough. I get it! When I go to my computer and click on a news or other  video, again, I have to suffer through x seconds of ad before seeing it. Dreadful, that a vital world report or issue, before you can access it, has an ad attached. What is happening in the news industry? It can't be taken seriously when beer ads precede an insurrection or tragedy, for example. While I wait to see if a war is occuring or a rocket has blasted off into space, I have to view a fashion magazine ad with a couple of airbrushed  twenty year olds whose eyes look like dead codfish. No, I don't want the fashion magazine and even if I did, please stop with the faces. Ugh. Ad people, if you want my support for your product, advice is: overkill kills, don't entertain, inform me, once is enough. Now to watch a blue-ray movie - without interruption. Oh, was that an ad?
