No -Buy Zone

There are several products and services I will never buy. Not because of poor quality, bad service or price, but because of the inane, annoying, stupid commercials on Tv or the radio that these companies hit us over the head with everyday. Here's my top 6 list:

1.Ovaltine -liked it as a kid, but now the fake, overdubbed children's chorus screaming "more Ovaltine please! makes me cringe.
2. Hyundai/Mitsubishi- not because they are made in Korea/Japan, but it's loud, fast talking pitchmen for a few local dealerships gives me a headache.
3. OnStar- again, fake, phony testimonials supposedly recorded from real life situations where subscribers lock themselves out of their cars or report accidents. The dialog is so contrived I feel embarrassed listening to it. 
4.Viagra, Cialis, Levitra- there's that warning about something lasting more than  4 hours.......well never mind, you know what I mean.
5.McDonald's- here's a company that spends millions and millions hawking their artery clogging junk food, which, if they never even aired another commercial they would continue to sell their crap at the same rate. Think of all the heart disease research that could be funded using their advertising budget!
6. Sleepy's mattresses- I hate their jingle, and the little guy in the hat.
Man, am I becoming an old grump or what ?
