I believe that annoyance is successful, because you remember the product. Not only that, people who remember a product's annoying commercial will talk about the commercial that annoys them--free advertising.

I agree that it may not make much sense, but most advertising doesn't make any sense anyway. [img]graemlins/whome.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
