Advertising and sales promotion that vie for your attention

[Justloadit]

I HATE ALL FORMS of advertising. Advertising is one of the reasons why 90% of the world suffers from ADD. There are thousands upon thousands of useless bits of imagery and sounds shoved upon our senses 24/7. If I could have my way I would live on a farm away from the constant forced sensory overload trying to continually goad us into wasting money on obsolescent consumerist garbage.....G....d and the Robocalls - I wish I could strangle each and every person related to robocalling!

As you can tell I REALLY REALLY hate it. I can't stand going to the shops having to wade through radios blaring with simultaneous in store promotions and people shoving "The latest" new garbage in my hands. Having just gone through dealing with neighbors whose dogs don't stop yapping the entire day and getting the cops to come out (which I really don't recommend because they REALLY REALLY don't like to be bothered about crap and treat the victim like garbage) I really think that being deaf and blind might be a Godsend!!!!!

Can only agree.
I must admit that I have developed a tunnel vision, so tend to not even see the adverts any more.
I also suffer from tinnitus, so many times the annoying sounds are drowned out by my own white noise generating machine

What I have noticed on TV, or radio is that the advert volume level is elevated above the typical program volume. Maybe something to catch your attention.

I got rid of the TV's many years ago. E-TV with their constant porn every 5 minutes on a Friday and Saturday evening put the nail in the TV coffin. (I don't mind porn per se - it is just the over and over nauseating garbage that got to me) I NEVER listen to the radio anymore. I can't remeber when last I turned the car radio on. The problem with TV or radio is that is is 3 min talk then 5 min ads ....all the time. I watch Netflix and Youtube (with zero ads ever) I will rather not watch anything than be interrupted with ads all the time.

My daughter and I went to Clicks just now to get our prescriptions filled. The place sounds like a cross between a casino and an airport arrivals terminal. I can't deal with it - I start feeling nauseous and my ears start ringing. I would NEVER go inside a Clicks for any other reason than getting the scripts.

I also have tinnitus but my internal white noise generating machine isn't powerful enough to drown it out. Speaking of white noise - I sleep with white noise because the one neighbor's demon barking mutt from hell emerges from its underworld-dumpster at 7pm and continues to yap till down. I truly despise dogs now as much as I despise Clicks!

Maybe you need to get a Dog Bark Silencer Device
