I HATE them! They are so annoying.
 
I wonder if anyone has ever did what the talking ad told them to do..

Those talking ads are so irritating and evil, I don't know why people make them. No one cares about them, so they shouldn't make them anymore.
 
We will probably hear more and more of these types of ads as marketers endeavour to increase the impact of their online message by communicating it to our sense of hearing in addition to our sense of sight. The more ways the message is communicated to the target audience the better the chance that it will be remembered.



What do you think of the ads where a moving model speaks a message to you?
 
I like the ones where you can type stuff in and make the person say something, those are funny.

I got one on a guitar tab sharing site, and never went to the site again.
 
I don't like them and think they are annoying if anything. I am glad that Zetaboards and Invisionfree ban such ads on their forums and any found are quickly removed off of the google ads.
 
You dont really see talking ads on forums.. Ive only seen (actually I would say heard them) them on myspace and websites.
 
Fortunatly I have Ad-block Plus on Firefox so I won't be able to encounter them but I agree that they are annoying. Epecially those smiley ads where smilies go HELLLLOOOOO!? or Say Something
 
One time, an ad told me to burn my house down, now I am living in a box, BUT I GOTZ A FREE LAPTOP!

....In all seriousness, I find it extremely irritating to be doing a simple task lets say I am going to a news site and checking a few articles out and than an ad pops up and tells me these pathetic features and I can't X it out until it shows the close button. Ridiculous
