No way. I'd boycott the company if it caused
tme to have a seizure because of one of their
stupid ads.

Whether on telly or on the web and I BLOCK
most adverts on the web because of this stupid
junk.

google ads are nicer becayuse they have nice
Still Text that just sits there and on't make
me have a seizure or keep me from reading
the page like the other ones do.

Moving ads don't get my attention, they
get blocked.

Flashing ads get blocked straigh t away

If it was super flashy and was making me very dizzy. No. I would too, like Little, boycott the company.

Ads that anoy me or overwhelm me, I will not buy their product

I dislike being manipulated so I have almost a knee-jerk reaction to avoid buying a product if I have been annoyed by its advertising. Even if the advertising isn't annoying, the more I am encouraged to buy something, the more I will resist buying it. The kind of advertising I appreciate is that which informs me about the product, but doesn't insist that I make up my mind based on that ad alone.

I don't buy anything based on its advertising, whether the ads are good or bad.

speaking of advertisements; that ad to the left of the BB about ADHD medicine, or whatever it's about, is driving me insane!
i have ADHD, and its hard enough to concentrate on reading posts without some annoying kid jumping up and down right next to the words.
as some of you have already said, i too boycott if i see an ad that i find really annoying.
