Adverts don't affect me Once I was having lunch in London’s Soho area with an advertising guy, and I told him ‘Adverts don’t affect me much’. He laughed and said: ‘Everyone thinks that!’ I know what he was thinking. He meant that advertising is designed to reach us without us realising. Or if we realise it we dont like to think we are being duped, so we say, ‘Huh, not me!’
Sean, you have just described me. I guess there are few people who are as little interested in shopping as I am. And I find those TV adverts so annoying. But I think we are a rare breed, and anyway there are times when we also fall victim to advertising, though we may not realize it.
