You know, sometimes I do the same thing you mentioned -- I get so 'turned off' by a certain commercial that I temporarily boycott the product in question, even though I know that I personally have little effect on the overall marketing scheme.
For example, when that hideous little girl was doing the Pepsi commercials, I decided to boycott pepsi personally (it lasted maybe a week, but at least it happened!)
I know what you mean. Sometimes the commercials feel so invasive, so icky, so WRONG -- and it makes me feel a bit better to not use the products for a while. It sort makes me feel like I have the power after all, even though they try to make their marketing so clever that it can fool even the most cautious consumer.
Are there any other commercials out there that make you want to 'boycott' anything right now?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)
