Why does my eye twitch every time i watch adverts/commercials?
With the hope that subliminaly we the public will rush out like sheep and buy their products.
e.g. cheaper car Insurance adverts,
These ones that have no originallity whatsoever, just some gimpy pencil neck, with a logo/gimmic like an elephant for insurance or something.
How do i cure my pending insanity, of hatred towards adverts?
Answer:
You are not alone my friend. I hate commercials so much that I find it hard to sit down and watch TV these days. They're such an intrusion on our psychie. The worst ones I think are the ones like the one for 'cillit bang' with 'barry scott' And other similar distastefully bright and loud commercials that Force a product brand into your brain without your consent.
But you see they work. As I've just proved by naming the product and even the twat who advertises it. I think that it is a violation of our civil rights to have these images hammered into our brains. The regularity with wich commercials appear on our televisions seems to be increasing too.
I guess you are from England because you mentioned the ridiculous elephant costume commercial for insurance. I lived in the U.S for some time, and it's even worse there. For instance, during a half hour programme you will be subjected to at least 15 minutes of commercials, i.e. 5 mins before the programme, 5 minutes during the programme, and 5 minutes after the programme.
The only answer is to not watch TV any more I'm afraid. My sympathy to you my friend but be comforted in the knowledge that there are others like myself who understand and share your pending insanity and hatred.
That observation deserves a star, so have one. And remember 'BANG AND THE DIRT IS GONE !!!!!'
well i would say go to a pshycologist. u can let all uer anger out with them. :)
Subliminal Messages in Advertising!Y'all think...Could be!
You have a form of terets
Its not good to bottle up your anger in this way maybe you need to go see a psychiatrist for help, perhaps this is something to do with an earlier childhood experience.
I think you ansered your own question! And cut down on the caffeine and nicotine perhaps? LOL
I agree with you, but just take them for what they are, shallow, meaningless and far removed from your life. Try playing a game with them instead, like re-write them humourously or imagine your own product (e.g. s*itcakes in vanilla or choclate flavours) or just go to loo while they're on instead! Turning on MUTE also helps a lot!

The best solution is to either try advert aversion therapy, which basically enables the brain to dis-engage upon hearing or seeing an advert and then re-engaging once an advert has either finished or the programme being watched resumes. The only problem with this is when set at a too sensitive frequnecy it can have disastairous effects when driving and looking at a billborad (for example) or if an advert becomes part of the programme you are watching.
The twitch in your eye when adverts come on is a definate sign there is a subconcious battle going on between the rational mind and the subliminally effected part of your mind! Good luck!
