Re: Geeze said by exocet_cm:Marketing, at least for me, has "programmed" me to behave a certain way. For example, when watching a television show and the program I'm watching leaves for a commercial break, I hit the mute button on the remote. It is second nature for me as I usually don't even realize it, so I guess ads have had an effect on me, not the desired effect the ad creators want I assume. Muting is almost necessary, now, if you don't want to be deafened.
Marketing organizations periodically try to lobby to make commercial-skipping impossible in commercial DVRs.

Brooklyn, NY | They conducted a study recently which showed that people tend to look at the screen and process more of the imagery when the sound is muted. I wouldn't be surprised if it's discovered that the ads are being made deliberately louder to achieve the desired behavior of muting. |
