How do I get rid of Victor?

[Fender_Bender]

I've spent so long ignoring ads (and the god awful noise that passes for music at my gym for that matter) that I really don't notice them. I literally had to consciously look for the ad in question which is liberally sprinkled around here. And now, back to the ignore routine .

 

[Zant]

He's on every darn TB page with that strings advert and I can't take much more of that Victor smile that says he's richer, more successful and much happier than me... every time the ad appears it's like a reminder of it but it just keeps coming back. I need help.

Victor who?

I get an ad from King Soopers about free flu shots. Seriously? I'm going to let someone in a grocery store give me a flu shot? Sorry. Ain't gonna happen.

 

[delta7fred]

yeah sorry i don't mean here per say but there is a feeling of negativity towards him regarding some of his endorsements - like the power cable

I have the greatest of respect for Victor as a musician and educator and watching him on Youtube he comes across as a genuinely nice guy, which I am sure he is.

I do feel that it was a shame that he endorsed the power cable. (That is my view and you are entitled to your's.)

You know they incubate that stuff in chicken eggs? Gross. You'd start growing feathers I bet.

I thought Victor was the name of the dog looking into the Victrola on the old RCA Logo. I haven't seen any ads for strings featuring Mr. Wooten or any one else. Do you have to buy a set in order for them to target you?

 

[JimK]

Buy some DR Pure Blues and you too can have that same Victor smile!

And what exactly is "pure American sound" anyway?

I do not know...but I bought a set of these from Amazon...

"Nipper" is the RCA Victor dog.

Nope. The ad came first!

I use DRs...but this is the 1st set of strings I have bought in long while.

Maybe.
My wife recently had foot surgery...my ads were mostly for shoes and what-not until recently. Now I'm seeing gear ads.

You should get a Victor tattoo.

This is getting rather annoying I must say

I'm now seeing Warmoth Guitar Parts adverts. I literally just thought of building a new parts bass, but haven't told anyone. No-one. I'm wearing a tin foil hat from now on...

Nobody's watching you. You're being silly. By the way, there's something on your left front tooth, looks like a piece of spinach.

 

[Verb the Noun]

If you ever think of envying Victor in any way, shape or form

I accept never holding a fraction of the skill on bass that man has. I keep my envy at bay knowing he will never stand taller than about my navel.

Wow, are you one of those huge blue people out of Avatar?

LOL, I may have exaggerated slightly... It was still super weird to realize just how tiny he is when I saw Bella Fleck live a few years ago. It was the death of my "bass players need big hands" theory.

I always get unobtrusive, pleasant, understated ads for TalkBass swag..
