That ad has rubbed me the wrong way for a few years now.
I solved the problem.
I bought an Epson Eco tank printer.  
Sorry Cannon but you failed. Your ad is too annoying rather than something that gets the proper attention. 
& Yes, even though Cannon was successful in getting people to know what a Mega tank is, it still failed because 
the Epson Eco Tank Printer is meeting the needs instead.  Time for new ads that are not so annoying, but too late for me. I bought something else.

Or how about the McDonalds Monopoly Golden Edition ad? I find it annoying and so far I won 3 free medium fries.

I hate that mattress commercial currently airing... Laid Asleep? Lane Asleep? What is the name of this company?!

I had to Goolge - it's Leva Sleep. What?? :\

I think it’s the guy’s voice in the Leva Sleep ads that ruins them. They had a spot a couple of months ago about “positioning” in bed, but his delivery was more perverse than pleasant. BTW rhunter, I had to Google the company’s name as well, maybe that’s why they’re running ads!

OK, that's enough. If AM640 plays that horrendous spot about kids with cancer one more time, I'm going to start throwing eggs at their transmitter.

The cause - raising funds for children with the disease - is good, but the copy is simply beyond awful. 

You probably know it in your sleep by now - "Imagine if your child had cancer," it starts. Then it goes into "now imagine this," "now imagine that," "now imagine this." Imagine, imagine, imagine. And on and on and on it goes, until the only thing I can imagine is throwing my radio against the wall. 

I swear I've heard it about 152 times in the past hour alone and it doesn't get any better. 

I'm sure it's for a very worthy outcome - research into childhood cancer. But it's so irritating, especially with it airing every spot break, I just can't listen to the station anymore. 

Someone make it stop! Or at least play it only once an hour. I get the message. I just can't stand listening to it anymore. Imagine!
