    Ads that package up and misuse core human emotions to sell product. I think they call it emotional branding but its getting worse and its truly sickening.

    Dont take everything thats good about the human race and link it to flogging your product as if your product is anything near the scale of whats really matters in life.

    As The late Bill Hicks said "if you are in advertising do us all a favour and........" Strong words but we need to fight back against these parasites and predatory capitalists

    Can you provide an example? I'm thinking of advertisments for charities showing variously sad, but appealing, animals or children.

    Yes hang on Im trying to put them out of my mind. I will try and come up with examples. Those Vodaphone ads have me reaching for the sick bucket but there are many more. Just tell us the phone charges and coverage benefits....we will do the rest..... making friends and getting on with life.

    The big mac advert that had to apologise for exploiting bereavement...the ads like Heineken implying that it brings people with oposing views together. They are not the only ones using that bringing people together slant.

    Oh and Pepsi in that shameless catastrophe of an ad which was actually mocking the black lives matter movement.

    I can make an allowance for charity ads and I was looking at some examples on the emotional branding page. There is a debate there but tugging at the heart strings is what they are about

    Im talking more about the mini story scenario and then it pans out to a car for example. Banks that show a little story of a lifecycle as if they are our best mates other than the fact they are charging interest on a loan and vigorously dealing with defaulters

    Tell me directly about the products if they must but dont link it all with a load of emotional B/S. I would like to see somebody defend this type of advert as they are getting worse

    If an ad annoys chances are it is not aimed at your demographic, but it will be working on someone. The ads that work on you are the ones you don't even think about.

    Fact is bullshit sells, you just have to target the right bullshit at the right people. It has always been the case and always will be because that is how the human brain works.

    Agree but they are still quite pretty even if too thin and in any case it isn't like we are going to have to shag them anyway
