TV Commercials Should NOT be Loud
HOLY COW! Are you ever watching TV and then when the commercial comes on, BAM!? The volume gets really loud and you can’t hear anything! Watching TV and then a loud commercial comes on really scares me. Commercials don’t need to be loud to get my attention because it will just hurt my ears and I will mute the commercial losing all interest in the TV.
Loud commercials scare the crap out of people. They could spill their drink and then they would have to go change their clothes, and they wouldn’t even be by the TV to watch the commercial anymore. If they are home alone and choke on their food from the loud commercial, they would have to call 911, and to finish watching the commercial would be the last of the person’s worries. If an old grandpa is watching TV and reading a newspaper, then a loud commercial comes on, he could have a heart attack. Loud commercials are scary and could be very harmful.
Loud commercials hurt my ears. If there are always loud commercials, I’ll need a hearing aid when I get older. I won’t be able to hear my grandkids talk to me when I’m old if I always have loud commercials playing in my ears when I’m young. If I’m watching a good scary movie and I turn up the volume because its a quiet part, and it gets suspenseful, then a loud commercial blares and it hurts my ears.
If I’m watching TV at night and a loud commercial comes on, it will wake up my family. If I get caught staying up late watching the new episode of my favorite show, then I won’t be able to watch the show anymore. I will have to go back to bed and what teenager wants to go to bed before 11:00 p.m.?
Some people could be for the idea of loud commercials. “I like loud commercials because it gets my attention. If there were only quiet commercials, then I wouldn’t have my attention on the TV and I would miss a commercial about a sale on furniture!” “Yes, this is a good point, but if a commercial is funny enough and attention grabbing, then

    One of the main reasons that some advertisements are considered controversial would be because television viewers want to watch interesting entertainment. Advertisers realize that the catchy ads are more likely to be remembered longer; therefore, these ads have more luck with higher sales. Controversial advertisements can be very beneficial. The benefits of such advertisements include but are not limited to, educational advertising. The commercial is described in which a man gets up out of bed as a kind gesture to his pregnant wife; he goes to go get her ice cream from the refrigerator. There is not any, so he decides to go the store to get her some. As he pulls out of the driveway in his car, his car is hit in a head-on collision. The commercial states "Didn 't see that one coming, nobody ever does, buckle up" (CNN news, 1999, what the spots show, ¶ 1). This type of…

    I can tell be honest when I say ads sometimes get in the way of what I'm trying to watch or listen too . I usually just turn the volume of and start doing something else in the meantime . I know the ads are usually just 30 seconds- 1 minutes but if you're really not into a certain ad at all it might take a century just to finish . Advertisements are not always believable .…

    The variety of different shows becomes somewhat of a narcotic (280, 1, 1). People constantly have a guide through the many wonders of this world in 30 minute to one hour programs. People hold the inability to focus on an actual tour in this generation, so they resolve to go to cartoons and whatnot to take a subconscious tour of the world. People watch things such as American Dad, where the main character works for the CIA; the main character takes you on an un-educational tour throughout his world. We have about ten minutes of the program, and then we receive a break so our tiny attention spans can recover during commercials. We don’t concentrate because programs give us no reason to do so. Commercials crave your attention with small details, but they don’t need to keep it for very long. Commercials are short, colorful, and made for simple minded creatures; they don’t provoke your thoughts. The HP commercial that plays “Too Close” by Alex Clare provides a fine example. Techno music gives the commercial a catchy tune and the flashing colorful pictures makes people not think, just want to buy. The makers of the commercials add an appeal, whether it’s sexual appeal or the bandwagon effect. People don’t face a challenge in any way with commercials when it comes to focus. Television has become a mindless habit. If one were to observe a child watching television, they could see the child’s blank expression and distant stare. Their minds constantly switch gears to match the program’s constant change of action. One sees this very often in children, especially as a babysitter. Working with children provides the ability to observe…

    The annoying adverts such as Go compare and Big fat gypsy. It drives me nuts that I even sometimes just want to turn my TV off. I bet you hate the irritating opera singer too. The jingle won’t get out of my head. Amusing ads like the Meerkat one I like and will tend to go for - 'Go Compare' drives us daft. The advert’s main point to the audience was meant to be car insurance but all I can think about is the irritating ‘sound’.…

    Critics argue that advertising can also have a huge influence on society. It tells the consumers that only purchasing products makes you happy and therefore people compare each other on their belongings. Women also compare themselves with the beautiful and very skinny models they see on commercials and ads. This sometimes results in eating disorders and a low self-esteem of women who don’t look like these models. Another bad effect is, that minority groups are fully being eliminated from the Market. Commercials are also an important part of the income of a TV station which leads to the…
