Ever turn on a product because their current ad campaign is so bad?

For instance:

Ya know, every once in awhile I may have picked up a 6-pack of a Sam Adams brew just because, but ever since that absolutely annoying “Your Cousin From Boston” campaign started, I intentionally have not spent a dime on them.

There are many I could say that about, but I'll leave that to myself and not stir any pots. :rofl
 
Right about when the OP was posted I thought to myself “I will never, ever give my money to an insurance company that uses an emu as their commercial spokes-thing like it’s funny…”

Just as soon buy dead-rat sammiches from Quiznos.

Pretty much all insurance companies are out going by that logic. Advertising needs to stop trying to be funny, give me a reason to give you my money, not a shitty SNL sketch.
 
I’ve never turned on a product because of it, just had some over the years that the marketing made it clear I wasn’t a company’s target audience before I even bought anything. I can’t see myself ever giving NDSP a dime. They’ve been working on those Vai and Townsend plugins for ages, as much as I love them both, it’s not quite enough to make me give NDSP money.

Gibson’s “Play authentic” campaign did a good number at ensuring I’ll most certainly never buy a new Gisbon, whatever it didn’t ensure, their pricing did.
 
I don't take medications of any kind, thankfully. A lot of the pharmaceutical marketing is a huge turn off. It's rampant too. Everybody looks so happy and out at a lake having a great time, then all the side-effects at the end that are worse than your supposed health problem, and some may cause death or give symptoms the drug is suppose to prevent. :facepalm They don't build any confidence with me.

My all-time favorite was a drug for insomnia and one of the side effects was “sleeplessness”.

Us ->:crazy<- Big Pharma
 
I have never abandoned a product, but I did once buy a product I really did not want because of their advertising. When I was living in California, I was for the first time in my life introduced to Jack In The Box (aka Crap In A Bag) advertising. After a few years of watching their commercials and laughing my ass off, I felt obligated to give them some money as a return for all the humor they had provided me with. I am NOT a fast food person, so this place was never on my list, but like I said, I felt that I owed them. I don't remember what I bought (probably a chicken sandwich), but I remember eating one bite and throwing it in the garbage.
