What is with the screaming commercials? I will spare your ears and not embed any of these ads but they are linked from the offending company’s names.<\/p>\n

First, there was the most obnoxious commercial I have ever had the misfortune of watching from King’s Dominion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t believe it got made, aired and more than one person thought it was a good idea.<\/p>\n

Tonight, I saw a similar ad for Little Caesars<\/a>. Instead of screaming, all the people just yell WHOOOOO!!!! and hold things up.<\/p>\n

To round out the aural assault trifecta, JC Penney<\/a> gave us this terrible ad with people screaming sometimes in slow motion, other times in stores.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who thought that screaming would sell more product? Who likes to be screamed at? How did they feel a screaming ad was going to build good feelings towards their product?<\/p>\n

I am disturbed by this trend of reducing advertising to the levels of Idiocracy<\/a>.
