I don't mind cold calling as long as they don't waste my time. 20 seconds to listen to a product that I may want/ need is not worse than the 5 minutes of ads on TV. The nice thing about calls is that when you have had enough you just put the phone down, you cannot fast forward your TV ads (well you can, but not for most of us).
Personally I have a problem with big billboards and other graphic advertising. It has come to the point where you go into a public place and all you see is corporate grafitti everywhere. "promoting your brand" is about the same as vandals "spread your tag". Now even ADT had the cheek to nail one of their boards on my wall- blatant advertising because there is not a thief in Johannesburg who is repelled by a sign board.
