Audio Ads with "Wow!"
« on: 11 Feb 2005, 03:57 pm »
While surfing AudiogoN this morning, I came across yet another ad with the phrase "Wow!" in the main caption.  For some reason I really find that annoying.

Has anyone ever bought anything from someone who places ads like that?

As a consumer, it communicates exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to, it also makes me immediately suspicious of that person.  Anyone else feel that way?

Just ranting.

Cheers.

I agree entirely.  Another one is "it blew the (fill in blank) away!".  The only exception:  "I was listening to my Mom's AM radio in her kitchen and heard this song I like.  I bought the SACD of it and put in on my $120k system at home. WOW!  It blew the AM radio away."
