Advert breaks?
Summary: A topic titled 'Advert breaks?' was initiated by cee-dee with the content 'None', indicating perhaps an inquiry about commercial breaks. tressygirl responded to the original post also with 'None', suggesting either agreement, confusion, or an intention for further clarification or engagement, but no additional details were provided by either party.
I was watching National Geographic when the ad-break started. First there was a trailer for an upcoming programme, then followed twelve adverts (yes, I counted them) followed by two more trailers. The next ad-break was conprised of two trailers first, followed by thirteen adverts and then two reminders of the next two programmes.
I wonder, do people actually take any notice of the adverts and do they ever buy something that they've seen in those adverts? I can't think of anything that I've bought after seeing a TV advert but what about you?
An hour long programme will soon be half adverts at the rate they're going?

·6 months agoWe very rarely watch anything ' live', because of those long advert breaks, but must admit when the odd live show is on, and no ability to fast forward those pesky adverts, then yes, I have purchased some items , new on the market, which I've never seen before.
The ones I remember , was a cleaning product, turned out to be expensive and rubbish, a new face cream certainly did Not do all it promised to, and a new flavour Pringle crisp!
They do have subliminal powers !
