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.

Get the Adnan mug.Adnan is a kind of host but not arrogant. He is humble and is known as a "true-friend". An intelligent person that is also very good at sports. His behavior in the public is exemplary. He can deal with women and is a real gentleman. A romantic and loyal husband. An excellent lover. Also very handsome in person. A type of guy you can always joke around with but you still shouldn't get in any argument with him. Money is his 'element'. He is a successful business man or will be one day.

Adner is a great friend, truly loves the people in his small circle. He is a thinker, a philosopher, with his thinking also come conflicting thoughts. He doesn’t think like the rest. He can have some mood swings and a little bi polar, but for the most part he is a great person. He can be argumentative, and impose his opinions. He loves hard, and even if he makes mistakes he can reflect on them and he will always make up for it and make it right with the person. Adner puts the people he loves first. He has a deep voice and it is captivating. Tall and handsome, but that’s not what makes people like him. It’s definitely his sweet side that people prefer. It’s that all handsome man with a sweet, heartwarming side that makes him perfect.
Adner is the man of my dreams.
