Adness is defined as advertising that generates a negative reaction from the very people it’s trying to persuade. The broken social contract between advertisers and consumers is the root of all adness.

Examples of adness include advertisements that violate the social contract by blocking content, invading personal spaces, employing shocking or deceptive tactics to get attention, using “adspeak” instead of conversational language and delivering inappropriate messages at an unsuitable time. The term was coined by Carton Donofrio Partners in 2010. In an effort to take a stand against adness, the Baltimore agency launched www.StopTheAdness.org to inspire change within the advertising industry.
Boy: Ugh, this pop up ad overtook my screen.
Girl: Annoying. That's adness.

Boy: I hate these tampon ads that air during football games.
Girl: Ha. That's adness.

A girl who is a complete angel. She is beautiful in every way, shape or form. She is caring and is nice to everyone. She is the sweetest girl that you will ever meet in your life. She’s a bit shy, but once you get to know her she is amazing. She laughs a lot, is very smart and is always there for you no matter what. She loves everyone and she’s a goddess overall. She does have a side to her that’s a bit unusual, but in a funny way. She will help you if you need it, she will make you laugh if you’re upset and she will do anything possible for you to put a smile on your face. She doesn’t deal with people who are fake or unloyal to her because they don’t deserve her. She may get in drama every now and then, but she’s always unbothered by it. Everyone deserves someone like her, except for those who chose to be fake.
That girl is so sweet. She knew I was having a bad day and tried to make me laugh and smile in every way she could. She is such an Agness.
