Thread: Way, way, way off topic

But does Kroger save enough by using computer generated characters in that awful "Low, low, low..." commercial to fund the cost of playing it 40-11 times a day? Surely it has reached enough viewers by now. I am sick of it.

Some ads are informative, and some use the repetition method, and still others use lures like pretty girls. Economics 101 teaches that if Clint Eastwood wears Calvin Kliens.....and if I wear Calvin Kliens......I will be just like Clint Eastwood. It is the same thing here. Someone starts showing pictures of their jig bodies, and someone says they caught a fish..... and of course I want to catch a fish.... so the next thing you know I am checking the parcel box everyday wondering when they will show up so I can catch a fish.

My wife and I did an experiment after learning of another couple doing same. We started talking about needing to buy some cat food. We talked for a few minutes two different days. Our IPhones heard us, because they listen to us secretly, and then we started seeing all these internet ads for.......wait for it...wait....cat food. We don’t own cats so no way they saw us shopping for cat food. And it is getting worse everyday. Advertisers are paying big bucks to invade our privacy and target us and it is a big deal to me knowing that everything you say is being listened to by strangers that never asked to listen in. Of course a few payments to our Congress creatures and everything is completely acceptable. Yes, totally fair to spy on you because they paid their bribe money.

I watched a Ytube video yesterday. 16 ad breaks in a 20 minute video. They knew people wanted to watch.
