[Rant] Shameless Plug Advertising

If there is one thing that I’m absolutely tired of seeing, its advertising for god awful shit I’d never need let alone look at twice. Its everywhere. Television, The Internet, Magazines, Email – Hell, even my fucking IM client.

Now I’m not trying to single out one specific type of advertising, because I hate the-fucking-lot however I do hate some types of advertising over the rest.

Evony Breasts Advertisement

An advertising campaign for Evony. Now with 100% fake Bewbs!

The highest on my shit-list of shameless pluggers, is those god awful Evony advertisements. You can only imagine how much these adverts piss me off. It wouldn’t be as bad if I only saw the ads for Evony once every so often, but they’re on just about every bloody website I can think of that I’ve been to. What is worse is that on some sites its displayed more than once, and for what? The adverts are misleading, because Evony is infact a shoddy rip-off the game Civilizations. Its like the game CrossFire only with worse advertising (aka. Game that is a clone of another game, marketed towards internet perverts).

Another thing on my shit-list of Shameless Plugs are those late night ads that promote sex hot-lines. Now I’m not sure of details, but there was a period where I didn’t see them at all and then all of a sudden *BAM* there they are. What fucking idiot said yes to allowing these whore ads being allowed on TV? I don’t fucking care if its after a certain time of night, the fact is that these ads make up 60% of late night TV programming! Yes, that means 40% IF THAT is left for REAL programming, which isn’t a whole lot considering all the late-night shows are utter shit… (Except for David Letterman, he’s cool)… What drives it a cursing frenzy is the phrases “Come flirt with me now” or “I want you real badly” — Most nights when I hear that I yell shit like “GET THE FUCK OFF MY TV!”, and no I don’t throw my TV remote (as much a I would like to). What ever fucking happened to keeping this sleazy shit to porno mags? Y’know, the little dirty magazine you hid in a brown paper bag from your parents back in High School – Why can’t it just be kept there!?! Instead of this domination-of-airwaves that we’re seeing…

There are a dozen of the advertisement and marketing scuzz-buckets I could rant at, but this is going to be the last one.

Weight Loss ads. I know I’m a fat fucker, but I don’t need these money-chasing shitbrains telling me that! (I cop enough shit from my family too). Another thing about these ads is they all claim to be something that any other product or diet! There just gets to a point where you just want to belt these guys up the side of their single-minded heads!

“…all this at a five-dollar value can be yours for just 13… easy payments of 14.95!”

In the closing of this rant, this shameless plugging needs to be addressed, especially by these bigot Pro-Censorship guys who seem to hit and miss things that REALLY need to be censored… because these ads make up more of a content percentage than the actual TV shows do! Seriously, the next time you sit there and watch TV for a while – take notice on how much ads there are compared to actual shows – and then you’ll understand why I don’t watch TV.
