1. Is it next to the 30 big neon signs advertising 4% off expired yoghurt? I must’ve missed it while I was looking at literally anything else.

2. Is that sign next to the other shitty advertisements trying to get me to buy an overpriced candy bar before I’m out the door? Sucks, I’m not reading any of them. Deal with it.

3. Your store is literally designed to make people get lost and lose track of time. You’re welcome to go fuck yourself and take your annoyance out on your corporate overlords instead of the regular people just trying to find the onions.

Exactly this. Imagine the gall of people to complain I don’t interact more with their ads. Pricks.

Signs at stores are ads. Email is spam and ads. Menu is ads. Post online is ads. Street signs are ads.

Instruction, caption with answer to question and group handouts aren’t ads, but I had ads fatigue from the rest of the shit you’ve been trying to cram down my neck, so go fuck yourselves and your written words.

What a crock of shit. Living with the knowledge that you killed someone isn’t shortsighted, it’s tragic. You pulling the trigger to switch the trolley to kill only the 1 person can and will have consequences on your own mental health.

And the comic isn’t even about the choice between action and inaction, it’s about “Oh wow, 5>1, this dilemma is easy lol” - nah, even if you make it purely about the numbers - unless you’re a fucking psychopath, you’re not gonna kill your newborn to save 5 strangers.

Holy shit i just realized vegans can’t even have noodles made with eggs. No wonder they have to make separate communities and offer each other support, life must be horrible when food tastes like cement.

And some people argue against the death penalty. Argh.

I think I heard it put like this once (paraphrasing):

Ads aren’t to make you buy the product. Few people are gonna see a regular commercial about chocolate and go out and buy it. That’s not their intent. They’re meant for brand recognition. They’re about that moment in the supermarket when you have 50 choices of what soda to get. 40 of them are noname and store brands. You’ll almost never try them unless you want to save some money and/or aren’t interested in what you’re buying. But then you have your coke and pepsi. The old reliables - the names that are stuck in your head since forever. And sometimes you’ll want to check out the new mountain dew or dr pepper flavors, cause you’re curious. But when you’re not in the mood for new, when you just want a soda and don’t wanna think about it, you’ll get a coke or a pepsi or one of the few brands whose name you recognize.

After 1000 raid shadow legends ads, guess what you’re gonna feel like trying in 3 months when you get bored of your current mobile game and are scrolling through their top picks for games? “Hmm, Raid shadow legends? I’ve heard about this before, maybe I give it a try”

Sure, it backfires sometimes - for example, I always make it a point to not try out a game if I feel it’s been in too many ads - I don’t wanna waste time in something that blew its entire budget on marketing. But with most people this doesn’t happen. And I’m pretty sure even I tried some item from an ad that I said I’d never get - the name probably just got stuck in my head and I got it without even realizing it.

Marketers make a shit load of money based on human psychology. They wouldn’t be doing it if it didn’t work.

Is that why Waldo keeps hiding?
