how far is too far for advertising?

So, you can't go a day in your life with out some sort of advertiseing coming across something your looking at....

You watch TV and theres advertising EVERYWHERE!!! whats a comercial again?

You go see a movie, the Bad guy gets thrown into a coke-calo vending machine.

You're walking down the street.. billboard for some company.. telling you to buy something..

You're on the skytrain.. advertising along the roof... how many helpline are there now?

You're on a website, and you get pop-ups advertising.. for porn or web cams..

You're checking your e-mail, and theres emails to buy a bride, or disk to tell you how to become debt free...

You're at a resturant, goto use the washroom... close the door.. theres advertising for milk..

ect... ect... ect... ect...

Today... I'm driving down lougheed highway with my mom and uncle... I get a text msg... sure.. thinkin its from a friends or something.. nope.. guess wut..

ITS AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR VIAGRA!!!!!!!

I'm sorry... but I know people like to promote thier products to get some body to buy them... but sending out text msg to radom people to purchase them... thats hitting a lil'close to home.. and at first I thought adevertising in bathroom stall was a bit much.. boy, was I wrong.. now I'm getting hit up on my cell to buy stupid shit that I don't need.

Has anyone else come across any horrible advertisements? Cause, seriously.. there should be a limit...

email spamming is already going wayyy too far.

sms spamming is grounds for death.

a not quite so useless but still extremely useless peice of information to throw into the pile:

read somewhere that the average person takes in over 1500+ advertisements a day just by walking around, watching a bit of tv, and masturbating on the neighbors door handle.

you got a test message?

ouch, that's harsh. text messaging is a little too far (especially since some people pay to receive them!!)
e-mail is annoying enough as it is. but it's easier to filter through. the only txt msg ads i ever got were from rogers, for rogers stuff. taht was as bad, new promo's or something. but still a little annoying.

i still think email spam is too far. like, i'm not even going to open these things. I'M A 17 YEAR OLD FEMALE. I DON'T NEED VIAGRA, A PENIS ENGLARGEMENT, A MORTGAGE, A PRE-APPROVED CREDIT CARD, A LOAN, A USED CAR, OR GIRL/ANIMAL PORN!#%^#$

When I fire out a monster log in the toilet and it looks like the Nike swoosh has the words "Just do it!" one one side.
