I've never had Dish Network so I can't comment on their service, but they really annoy me. See, I don't look to ever have Dish and I'm super tired of all their stupid little commercials about how they're "so much better than any other network out there" because it's inaccurate and subjective.
The last commercial that I saw really annoys me. "Tired of paying for channels you don't use? Like children's channels but you don't have any kids? Or shopping channels and you're a guy?"
Um, excuse me? When did being a guy make it impossible for someone to shop through an 800 number put on their television? And what about being a woman made it automatic that you would want a shopping channel even if you never used it? So sexist.
It'd be a better angle if they went on that whole, "kid's channels when you don't have kids" thing and did other things. Like:
-Satellite radio channels when you hate music
-Home/Gardening Channels when you hate designing/gardening
-Fox News Channel when you're not a right wing conservative
Marketing campaigns need to go to lowest common denominator, I understand that. That's how they make their money. However, aiming for the lowest rung in such a way is still not an excuse to just state blatantly stupid and bigoted things.
