In fact, ads often annoy me so much that I dont want to buy the product - the annoying Comcast ads have made me look into switching to satellite or FIOS. I buy mostly based on word of mouth from others who have bought the products and research on the net. I agree with Bill about the Saved by Zero ads - I want to pull my hair out whenever that comes on. At least the HEAD ON commercials (most annoying commericials in history - wore out my remote batteries faster switching channels every time they came on) are a little less annoying, but because I was so annoyed I refuse to try any of their products - even if they work.
