Commercials are like blogs; the more controversial or funny or outrageous, the more attention they get. If you don’t like a blog, you can skip forward to something else. If you don’t like bland advertising, well…that’s why they created “fast forward.”
I’m not anti-advertising. There are certain ads that just make me stop, look and listen and move my finger off the FF. While I’ll gladly fast forward through laundry detergent ads or shots of cars with bows on their roofs or male enhancement pitches (although I can see why some guys might pause at that point), when the Boost Mobile pigs show up (click here for video), I’ll stop and have a laugh. Those pigs remind me of trade shows.
