This is a very broad topic which can be analysed from different points of view. If we, for example, take an ordinary viewer who come back home after a hard and long day at work and s/he wants to watch television to relax s/he will not be glad to see the never ending chain of advertisements. It is the first step to become irritated and to lose the rest of your humour. It is even more frustrating in case when we watch an interesting film, which instead of lasting one hour lasts at least two as the advertisements are presented in every fifteen minutes. I can understand that this is done for a specific purpose, which is to make as many people as possible aware of existing a new product on the market and to encourage them to buy it. Anyway, enough is enough. Let's back however to the poor viewer. Why poor? It is obvious. Believing in everything that has been said about a product s/he goes to a shop and buy it spending sometimes lots of money for which s/he had to work very hard. How disappointed s/he is when it appears not to be as good as s/he expected it to be, simply useless. In such situation s/he loses confidence in advertisements and treat the information cautiously.
