Default What's with advertising these days!?

Junk mail in your inbox in Hotmail
Door salesmen
Internet advertisements
Billboard advertisement
commercials that last longer than 5 minutes
advertisement on your signature drink from Starbucks
Forum users advertising over the internet

I do not know why, but society has too much time trying to create adverts in every corner of the earth.

/sign if you agree that you are fed up with all this C***

you forgot the phone calls...I have one telemarketer that calls up to 4 times every DAY!! (and yes, I am on the do-not-call-list, they just dont really care).

at xmas time my mailbox is soo full my real mail doesnt fit in (mail carrier puts the junk in first...or if they put the real mail in first the catalogs squish my real mail to pulp).

they should make junk mail senders PAY to send it--then they would stop!

(I dont get much junk on my email accounts since I dont give them out to anyone--hence no junk email)....dont get internet adverts either (cant say why here).

and as for the door salesmen...I live in a locked building...they would have to ring a bunch of bells at which time NO ONE would answer thinking it was for their neighbor (the kid who lives next to us seems to have friends who cant read)....so no problems there.

now hubby is getting phone solicitations on his CELL phone which they arent supposed to do! THAT makes me mad since we have to pay for those calls!

but yeah I completely understand (every time the dragon software or the nono commercial come on I leave the room).
