Advert Irritation

Advert irritation is a symptom of Counterproductive Advertising and is what happens when an advertisement is incorrectly targeted or when an advert is seen too frequently. There are two possible reasons why this happens:

1 The advertiser believes that screening the advert at every opportunity will increase sales; research by In Skin Media and RAPP Media shows that it just annoys people and makes them less likely to buy.
2 The belief that an advert made for the United States’ will be successful in the United Kingdom. The reasoning being that because UK customers understand the language in which the advert is made, they’ll identify with the product and everything else will fall into place. The advert may be well presented, but the customers are irritated by it either because the concept is alien or the presenter is unfamiliar.
The worst possible scenario is incorrect targeting and too frequent exposure. This happened with an advert for Lenor fabric softener screened in the UK during 2015. Originally made for the US market, it featured a minor American actress, Amy Sidaris, who was unknown in the UK; Sidaris’ manner was very much “in your face” which didn’t go down well with the more reserved UK customer base. A typical reaction of people watching was “who does this blonde bimbo with the big bristols and the weird accent think she is telling me how to do my washing?” This irritated reaction to the advert means that the customer is less likely to buy the product.

An incorrectly targeted advert, or one shown too frequently, results in advert irritation and lost sales.

irrational clark lust 

Disorder affecting thousands in the US and portions of Canada. Symptoms include racing thoughts of white pants, uncontrollable urges to manhandle fluffy red hair, blindly disregarding proper spelling rules, and feigning an interest in map-making.
ICL is thought to be caused by overexposure to the portraits and writings of early American explorer William Clark. As of 2011, there is no proven cure. Sufferers of the disorder are said to have reegretted no-thing &c.

Park Ranger: Miss, you can't stand that close to that portrait of William Clark!
Young Lady: CLAAAAAAK.
Young Lady's companion: She can't hear you Park Ranger, she's suffering from Irrational Clark Lust.

irrationallyexcusive

Someone who is always making excuses, but all excuses seem to be irrational, or easily proved wrong on the basic premise of the excuse itself.

I assign a new user to a system, then when they can't access the system, I see that the password I issued has a double S instead of one S. Being irrationallyexcusive, I blame the keyboard for adding the additional S to the password.

invitational entrapment 

A social booby trap, usually set on purpose by a host intent on making sure you're available for their lame or otherwise undesirable event; most often set in person, in the flow of an otherwise harmless conversation. One should be on the lookout for this trap, and have a few handy excuses on hand to preempt or avoid making oneself unintentionally available. Trap is most effective on the honest, the sympathetic, and otherwise nice folks who can't just say "F**K off!"

Host: "Hey, great t-shirt!"
Prey: "Thanks....I made it on Cafe Press."
Host: "Cool. So are you in town this weekend?"
Prey: "Yeah, we don't go away until next month."
Host: "GREAT! Then you can come to my SmurfExchange Party on Friday night!" **BLAM: Prey has just become a victim of invitational entrapment, and now must attend lame event.
