YouTube is becoming more and more guilty of it, as well. I love the AdBlock Plus extension for Firefox.

Hallelujah, holy shit, what a great app.

Now on to the rant...

Marketing is everywhere, and you will get used to it. Eventually it will just be a dull roar in the background of life and you'll ignore it (or at least I will). Some of it works and I think "hey that sounds like a good idea". However advertising costs a lot, so if they can afford to advertise they probably don't need my money. So I'll look for a similar unknown product and go with that.

Then there is advertising that pisses me right the fuck off. Shills are one example which you can read up on at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill

Viral marketing is cool, like the Boston Mooninite scare of '07 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare I honestly don't know if this was designed to be a fake terror attack or if it just backfired and turned into one but either way it was brilliant, made the city look like idiots, and if it backfired got better results than expected because of it.

You know what else pisses me off? That sign on I-75 that's brighter than the sun at night made up of I don't know how many TVs (last I looked one of them was out). In the day it's not so bad but at night it really stands out. They should have a low power mode for when the sun goes down.

Next on my list is spam, all kinds, sucks. I've got e-mail filters to take care of most of it. However most people don't know what a filter is or how to set one up so they just deal with it, some 200 messages a day.

Telemarketers can suck a dick too. For them I like http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html or just keep saying the word "cactus". Answer the phone and say it as the first word, then reply to everything they say with it. One smart girl played along and started repeating it. I gave her kudos but told her I still wasn't buying anything. Eventually I just stopped answering the land line (if it were up to me I wouldn't have one). The DNC list is a joke anyhow because certain groups can ignore it. Most people don't call them out on their crap either when they should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission for being douchebags.

Mormons can also go to hell, or their home planet, I don't really care which as long as they stop bothering me.

target="_blank But put up signs that say "no solicitors" and answer the door with an assault rifle in hand enough times and eventually people stop coming around. A big angry rottweiler named Stitches guarding the yard doesn't hurt either. Why is he named Stitches? Just ask the last guy who tried to approach the door. Get an attack dummy for him too dressed up like some under-payed uniformed employee on a rope next to a tree for him to play with. Think of it like a scarecrow, just make sure he's white so you're not accused of racism or anything like that, unless you are racist, then fuck you you racist fuck.

False advertising also pisses me off to no end, and you see it everywhere they can get away with it and not get sued. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM8qT9Xop5k (skip to 3:55).

They also use glue in cereal ads because it doesn't get the cereal soggy.

Hell there's so much social engineering getting you to buy shit that you don't need. Here watch all four parts of this http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8953172273825999151 assuming you have four hours to spare. Very informative and educational.

I think I'm done for now, I need a nap before I go out to DJ tonight, which you should all come to The Works and buy our drinks, only .50 cents from 10-11! Or tomorrow when we should finally have actual real for real blood wrestling (with real fake blood) at The Ritz (if they've finally got everything set up, I hear there will be six matches). (and you wonder why i don't talk about it that much on here, even though it would be direct marketing to my target audience I don't want to annoy people with the advertising).
