Poll: Ads - do they affect you?

[DarkhoIlow]

I watch them when surfing the internet(it's quite unavoidable),but they have never managed to make me buy the thing they offer.

Actually, adds usually have a negative effect on me.
Especially bad, cheap, bland commercials.
If the commercial is fun, original and clever I will remember the product, but it won't make me buy it.

Nope i have Adblock. Also i don't watch TV. I watch shows on amazon, youtube, iTunes and other online sources. I laugh at billboards. So they have no effect on me. Most ads are terribly stupid and i can't recall a single ad that made me excited to buy something. Except maybe a food ad, they're so easy to do, but i know which ones are bullshittin' and which ones aren't.

P.s. Mc Donalds doesn't taste as good as it looks on the ads.

That depends. Most of the time, I don't really pay attention to it. Other times, the ad itself may be funny, unique and cool but I still won't but the product (ex: the recent series of Snickers ads). And there are those rare occasions where I don't care about the ad itself, the new product being announced interests me. This last case is tantamount to someone basically informing me that it exists, could have just as easily been a friend.

An ad told me that a new Springsteen CD was out, so I went out and bought it. But I just didn't know about that CD before. So has an ad made me buy anything I knew about before? Not that I know of, but maybe.
