Yes i am affected by advertisement, not so much anymore since i tend to not watch much TV, but if i was going to buy some sort of product i never bought before i would tend to buy the one i've heard of.

Another interesting topic Maciamo! I like most of your topics you come up with!Maciamo said:Personally, I like watching some commercial on Japanese TV (they are better than any others I have seen, and even surpass the programs themselves), but I am not influenced by them at all. Actually, I hardly remember what product is the ad for.
I hear that many Japanese decide to buy something just because a famous TV host, singer, actress or model was in the commercial. Personally, I am not the slightest bit affected, as I do not see any relationship between that celebrity and me, and even if there was, I know perfectly well that they are just doing their job (and getting a lot of money) for sponsoring a product.
So, I do like some commercials, but they will certainly not influence my choices or make me want to buy the product. The only usefulness of commcercials would be to make me aware of new products which I wouldn't have noticed yet. But again, not make me want to buy it, as they can't create a need if it does not previously exist.
If you feel influenced by TV commercials or other ads, even sometimes (one can hardly be influenced by all ads), vote "yes". If you are never influenced, vote "no".
Note that I have divided the poll by ethnico-cultural group to see if that has an influence or not. East Asian include Japanese, Chinese, Korean and South-East Asians (living there). Westerners mean all Caucasians and other born and raised in Western countries who consider themselves Westerners. All others, choose "Other".
What if he voted against Brexit? What if he, and other like him, will bring Britain to Europe again in the future? I think we should be more inclusive and inviting.Off topic: When I saw Gaga's country flags, I felt kinda sad. Mods will eventually have to change this. The UK flag shall stand alone.
Western European, female, not influenced by commercials, fashion or celebs. Oh, I see the stuff. Am I going to run out and buy it? Not in this century or the next.
I am not sure if anyone of you are old enough, dad says it was the 40s if I remember what he said correctly, where radio stations in the US were paid by producers to play X song over and over again. Even if X song or Y band was the utter pits. They most likely still do.
But guess what, all it is, is "conditioning". Much like Pavlol's dogs if you hear the "bell" enough then you potentially become conditioned to believe it is actually good. Either good music, good for you, etc.
EOS took advantage of that commercialized conditioning by have celebs endorse their lip balm, for example, and I am sure some stores had it disappearing off the shelves like hot cakes. Likely still do in some areas despite the lawsuits and warnings.
