Commercials Between the shows; don't you love it

You are watching your favorite Crime Drama, or your favorite game show or your favorite reality show; you are getting into the show and then animated detergent particles appears on the TV screen dancing and singing about their cleaning strength followed by a car commercial. You get the point; it spoils the mood. One thing I promise about this blog , there will be no commercials :).

TV is filled with either TV shows or Commercials. Who gets excited about commercials? No one; I mean, they are really annoying. They have no skin, they just drop by whenever they feel like. OK, I have to say commercials are not always bad. There are some great commercials which are very entertaining. However, the sad part is that they are not that many.

My problem is with all the commercials which are boring and they last forever. I hate the especially infomercials (Information Commercials). They are one of the most cheesy things I have ever seen. So, these infomercials always has some sort of great inventions which will transform your life forever. Once you get that product you will get all the virtues in the world. You are now confident all the girls wants to hangout with you and suddenly you became rich. Infomercials always have 'before' and 'after' concept;Before this person was such a loser and after using the product he is Super hero. For my astonishment these infomercials actually works on the people. Apparently, people buy a lot of things from these infomercials. Since we are talking of infomercials it will be shame if we don't discuss"Snuggie". This product is the most ridiculed product; however, Snuggie made $80 million since it came out, even in this economy. Recently , they came out with new designs for Snuggies i.e. Zebra and Leopard print.

Now lets talk about some of the good and creative commercials. The commercials which actually make you laugh and helps you in remembering the products they are endorsing. For instance Geico commercials are one of the most liked commercial;especially the Cave-men commercials. Their tag line:"15 minutes can save you 15 % on insurance" actually helps in remembering about their services . So, when you think of insurance the first thing comes to mind is Geico. Contraceptive, commercials are also very creative ones too; unfortunately majority of those commercials gets banned before they even get aired. If you want to check out those commercial go on www.youtube.com and look for banned commercials; there are loads and loads of banned commercials and these are the commercials which are funny and entertaining.

Now, lets talk about the commercials which are boring and they infuriates us when it comes on tele. Erectile dysfunction commercials are the worst. They show a couple doing outdoor activities and the narrator is talking in double entendre. I will consider those ED commercials are poorly made also how can you solve bedroom problems in outdoors. It giving out the wrong message. Now second worst commercials are car commercials. They start out interesting only to kill your suspense by showing a car in the end. When I see some interesting commercial, I hope it doesn't end up as car commercials. Let talk about the commercials which talk about "those days" or "monthly gift". I mean, do you really need to show on TV at prime-time how much liquid a sanitary pad can soak in a day. I mean there are many other ways to skin the cat advertising agencies should find a good way to represent it.

In this day and age how many people do you think actually watch the commercials during the shows?The answer is not a lot of people. Generally the TV commercials focus on a market segment and the people in that market segment already have TiVos or DVRs where they can record the shows and watch whenever they want "Commercial Less". So, they don't have to go through the pain of seeing people wearing Snuggie and talking on the phone or any of the ED commercials. I think it will be good if the agencies will start coming up with the cool commercials so that when viewers are interrupted by commercials during their favorite show they don't get miserable.

Cheers

Tweet Twwet its the Twitter

What do people do first thing in the morning?? I don't know about everybody but I just go to my laptop and see what are the trending topics on twitter. Trust me, it is the best way to find out what are the top headlines of the moment. I was the first one to find out about the Michael Jackson's death in my whole friend circle. Isn't it feel amazing to have the feeling of "I knew first".

Twitter is amazing I have to say just find out about the coupons find out about most recent celebrity gossips, it the best way to keep you abreast with all the new happenings. It was like 2 months ago I have to go to different news websites to find out what is happening where. It was so hard to remember URLs of all the different website like CNN.com, BBC.com. But now nothing to worry about our Twitter is here with the consolidated information.

Apprentice UK III

So, I don't have much to say about what happened. There are few things which I think could be done in other way.However, it is the game show and I am not Sir Alan Sugar.

Instead of reporting what happened I will like to talk about what I thought about the finale.

First of all I was shocked when Sugar fired James. It just doesn't make any sense at all. However, people were saying James was there just for the TV. Despite the fact that he is the one who have won most tasks in the whole competition, he was fired. I don't know what Sir Alan sugar was cooking in his head. And I was shocked more when he fired Paul, leaving Saira and Tim as the finalist.

However, it starting to make sense when he gave the final task to both the remaining contestants. And it was evident that its too hard to teach new tricks to old dog. He asked both Saira and Tim to create an event. Which will be judged on the basis of creativity as well as the success of the event. Profit will not be "the Criteria" for this challenge. Which meant he wanted some event which doesn't have the short term profits but have long term benefits. He also want to see who listens to him as well.
So, Tim had a fashion show which was a simple and great idea and Saira had the wine tasting which is more lucrative as well as more fun. She had a great business plan but she didnt get one part and that to listen to the requirement, or say listen to Sir Alan Sugar.

She was more focused on making profit and selling the idea. Tim, on the other hand was hiring the prospective customers.

Saira made profit of 800 pounds and Tim was left with 2500 pounds in loss. But what he did is to make sure to listen to the Master. And that is the first duty or the apprentice or aspiring to be apprentice. That is why Sir Alan sugar said " you are hired" to Tim Campbell.
