Anyone sick of celebrity endorsed ads?

[Linux23]

I have a DVR so i'm not terribly pissed off about them yet, but I get sick of seeing celebrity endorsements.

I mean, really, what are the odds that someone who is banking in millions of dollars a year, actually use the product they are pitching to the average Joe.

Some examples:

I just don't care for them. So a celebrity endorses a product - big whoop.

 

[Red Storm]

Nope. I don't care about commercials, so I naturally don't care about or get annoyed over celebrity endorsed commercials.

9/10 doctors agree commercials are bullshit

I'm actually just sick of celebrities in general.

ya. after living a decade in LA I found out that 75 percent of working actors are just normal people who happen to be in movies. Its the celebrities like Paris and that chick with the big ass that give hollywood a bad name. Sadly they were created by the masses innane need for something to fill up their worthless lives.


I used to walk my dogs in Runyon Canyon and got to know a bunch of actors. We talked about recipes and philosophy and literature unlike normal people. Most are well spoken and intelligent and are introverted. Most normal people are complete idiots.

That first link is such a one sided rant it's ridiculous. Getting angry at promoting sodastream because they are located in the west bank? Getting angry that Beyonce promoted pepsi and also health? Come on - if you drink too much soda it's your own god damn fault, encourage some balance in your life.

In a New York Times op-ed, Mark Bittman wrote, "Knowles is renting her image to a product that may one day be ranked with cigarettes as a killer we were too slow to rein in. From saying, as she once did in referring to Let’s Move, that she was 'excited to be part of this effort that addresses a public health crisis,' she’s become part of an effort that promotes a public health crisis."

So says the guy with a quote from a celebrity in his signature.

And that has to do with what exactly? It's a line from a song is all.

What I don't like, are celebrities making $1000+ a minute asking me for donations.

I cut my cable 3.5 years ago, and with Netflix and Amazon Prime I never see these "commercial" things that you speak of.

I still don't believe that is true.

 

[MustISO]

I ignore advertising as much as possible, doesn't matter to me who is in the commercial unless she's nekkid. No endorsement would sell me on a product.

I'm definitely choosing my next car based on what Matthew Mcconaughey was driving when he talked to a buffalo.

I don't know, it makes for great parodies... like Jim Carrey's spoof on the Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercial.
