TNF Wallisch Ad

The Tom Wallisch Dubstep ad for TNF has become just as bad, if not worse than the Gus Kenworthy Vitamin water ad. I know it hasn't been around long, but for those of us (like me) who hate dubstep, it has gotten to the point where I can't sit through those 15 seconds of torture to make it to the edit. Yes, it's a cool trick, and yes, it's only 15 seconds, but that repeating robot fart in my ears every time over and over every time I watch an edit kills me.

PLEASE: NO MORE TOM WALLISCH DUBSTEP AD!

PS: Dear TNF, when Vitamin water got rid of their annoying ad, I found myself going out and buying Vitamin Water, whereas I didn't buy a single Vitamin Water the whole time their ad was on NS.

maybe a suggestion to the admins ?
any chance of getting more different video ads? i don't really like the feeling of getting brainwashed over and over again by the same ad ....

thats sort of what this is. I think seeking more video advertisements would make watching them much more bearable. for exmple, on Hulu, i am ok with watching a 30 second ad every 10 minutes because they are all different. I only see the same one maybe 1 in 10 times.

when it's JUST wallisch and dubstep all the time, i just gain this hatred for TNF and Wallisch.

therefore not specifically more advertisers, but just communicate towards investors that it's better to use the ad space with more different vids instead of just one playing over and over again ....
or would that be hard to achieve for some technical reason ?

I wouldnt mind it playing on every 3 or 4 videos. BUT NOT ON EACH VIDEO. It really bothers me that I have to watch 15 seconds of the same ad over and over again.

the only two ads I've truly hated were double pits to chesty and golic's tabasco ad. i never really minded the vitamin water ad or the north face ad, i don't even really notice them.

As inconvenient as it is, it helps make ends meet for the website. Just putting the truth our there. However it would be awefully nice to have a variety of video adds, or once every 3-4 videos.

I don't mind ads, but this one has been around long enough.

I actually sometimes will not even watch the video I intended on because I can't bear making it through the ad.

yeah it has definitely gotten to the point for me where it defeats it's purpose in that it only makes me angry.
