Fun Stuff > BAND
Just to prove I'm not a bandwagoner later on
Kai:
Okay, the fancy pretentious prog rock one.
Narr:
Are you actually going to go, you know, take a look and form your own opinions, or just criticize the entire time?
I'm simply curious.
Gryff:
I'd say he's probably going to go for option 2.
Kai:
Wait, I'm criticizing? I love really pretentious things, and double necked guitars are TOTALLY pretentious. I mean, have you seen any of my posts about what I'm listening to? Total pretension.
I might check it out later. I'm being lazy.
EDIT: Was the music that was playing on the site him? Because it's not up my alley if it is.

--- Quote from: weevil ---So, if I'm understanding you correctly, you rub the labels off of all your shampoo, tear the tags off of your food and ignore anything with a name brand on in your house just because you like to keep it where it ends.
I know what you're saying. You're against a slippery slope of unbidden shit like pop-up ads or your cool free toy in your cereal to actually just be a coupon for a different product (sometimes it is, though. Lego?) My point is, the power of suggestion is all advertisement is, and though you seek to escape it in it's most overt form, you'll never avoid unless you become an off-the-grid-granola-eatin' hippie. I suggest sucking it up and enjoying the exciting new products and deals that the advertisements so wish to share with you.

You, my friend, managed to miss the point so thoroughly I dont really know where to start in order to get you to understand. But here goes.
Everytime you turn a blind eye to invasive advertising in a new form, you allow it to become the new norm. Once it becomes the new norm, the next level of advertising seems to be the next logical step. Now you want to see a form of advertising that is in everyway completely horrible and annoying, go download Spyware Strike. I'll admit its advertising a product that doesn't exist and it is a very extreme case. But the mere fact that we just ignore pop-ups and other invasive advertising online or in day to day lives, just means that they are going to keep pushing and pushing until you start to notice.
Saying I dont want to be advertised at while in the shower, was refering to a possible outcome of while in the shower I am speaking under the assumption that you like me find showering to be a relatively private affair. You are secluded in a room bathing with the sole intent of relaxation/cleansing, and dont want some invasive agent bombarding you without your permission with product information you dont want. It was an example of a possible worst case scenario. Mere labels on my shampoo bottle really doesnt do much to offend my senses nor interrupt me in any way.
