Effectiveness of web ads?

[Bud]

It is just as annoying as TV advertising has ever been. Sooo!! Darren you are one of those advertisers that smear ads all over our websites! It's not enough TV ads are longer, louder and occur more frequently. Now we can't escape them on our computers either. Magazines have become nothing but advertising journals with a few articles sprinkled here and there. We "consumers" (spenders) are extolled to save by buying this thing or that thing that is so much "better". Of course we never know what it is better than. Gone are the days when saving money meant keeping it rather than spending it. Now we have to spend... spend ... spend in order to save! Does anyone see just how incongruous such a statement is. I am willing to bet a whole lot of people other than me are totally few up with all this in-your-face advertising.
