Ok, so I have to get this off of my chest. I like to venture over to MSNBC and watch their videos online since I don't get the cable station at my house. Anyways, so every once and a while when a video clip has ended, they switch to a NyQuil ad where the person is coughing or sneezing their head off. And I'm sitting there with my head phones plugged in and the volume reasonably high, then BAM!! Coughing and Sneezing and Sniffling right into my ear at full BLAST!!! (they seem to turn up the volume for advertisements automatically). It is so disturbing and irritating that I almost don't want to watch MSNBC anymore!
It's like the Marketing team on NyQuil really didn't think this one through at all. Yes, we know the purposes of NyQuil, but for gawd's sake no one likes to feel like someone is coughing directly into their ear!!! Just have a cutesy red nosed 3D character walk around sickly, and be handed a bottle of NyQuil, then get better, and play soft nighttime music in the background. I will be MUCH more likely to purchase their product is they advertise for it that way.
So that's an ad I hate, what about you?
