To annoy everyone I'd imagine. My current annoyance is the advert that
never ever mentions the product in audio.
There would seem no excuse for this, after all our money is as good as a sighted persons money.
For the same reason I'll never give to any appeal which merely says call
the number on screen now and give 2 pound a month.
There are plenty of adverts that manage to get their details in audio, and some even add an AD track if the AD is on. Rocket science it is not.
I don't believe the very latest Money Supermarket actually has anyone say
who its for, which is kind of going backwards.
I guess we are not that interested in cars, as many of their commercials
are just music.
I was told the other day that an add with just some stirring music was for Lloyds bank. Maybe its just as well banks leave their names off things as
they seem to close all their branches down except the most difficult one to
get to.
I'd also like to in for programs which do not say what they are, even worse some of them, when they appear do have AD, yet at no time in the trail is
that even mentioned.
We are still stuck on 10% of stuff with AD, and then only on the mainstream channels, On line still has no legislation forcing even this meagre
percentage, though a bill is slated for the government in the next session which is supposed to rectify this, but its probably unenforceable as most content is world wide these days. Also why is it not compulsory that apps written for smart TVs, should support the few inbuilt menu and selection talking software. Its no more difficult than it is to do it for computers
and mobile devices, which they usually do.
I'm afraid that if you do a poll in the street and ask people what
disability means, they say Wheelchair. Many of my friends with sight issues
who fly are getting fed up with airports sending a person out with a wheelchair, even though they have clearly simply asked for a sighted guide.
People are ignorant about the visually impaired and blind people
generally, and seem to assume we all have guide dogs and have superhuman
other senses t to compensate. They also think blind people see black all the time not the noise and swirling lights made by the brain that disorientates
us.
Everyone assumes all have computers and mobile devices and are taught to
use them. The view is unfortunately completely wrong. Its only the young who have grown up with these who are so connected.
I feel better after this rant, but don't get me started on charities and
the lack of funding of core services.

There arre frequent complaints about background music.
For some time there has been an advert, I think for Curry's or someone similar, that has background music louder than the actual advert.
Simple question, why?
