I believe all ads prey on the stupidity and laziness of the general public. While I will notice ads that are put in front of my face, I have never, and I mean never in my adult life, made a purchase based on an ad no matter the medium.

And, yes, I expect accuracy in any format being present for any reason, from theater to commercials; movies to sidewalk performances. Why, you may ask? For the same lazy and stupid people who cannot shop without ads, they tend to believe everything they see and read.

Lots of ads are failures and pulled.

Lots of ad agencies get fired for being ineffective.

Seen the ad where Godzilla chokes on a car? How accurate is that?

You only go see non-fiction theater? How accurate is a light saber?

Is Tony the Tiger real?

And you expect people to believe you've never purchased a product that you first heard about from an ad?

Okay, I'll give you the point that I was a bit vague on my parameters, but I'm not referring to fiction.

Maybe you should look up the word accurate as opposed to "real".

I really don't give a shit whether you believe it or not. You certainly are in no position to contradict me. I'm telling you I do not pay attention to ads, never had.
