Lita: There are advertisements everywhere here in hong kong. The city is so bright at night, with all the neon signs.
Garvey: I like it. It makes the city feel alive. I like all the different colors and I like the billboards with eye-catching pictures and slogans.
Lita: I think that there are too many of them. I think that companies spend far too much money on advertising. They should have lower prices instead. Then they would see more.
Garvey: I see your point, but if companies didn't spend money on advertising, no one would hear about their products. I agree that some form of advertising can be annoying. I don't like it when people try to give you leaflets with information about products you have no intention of buying.
Lita: I really hate receiving spam. I also dislike having to listen to advertisements and jingles when they are broadcast in stores or on the subway.
Garvey: Yes, that annoys me too. With billboards, you can look away, but with broadcasts, you can't avoid them. I like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign.
Lita: I like that too. I don't like the way that advertising campaign often tell you if you don't buy a certain product, you're not cool or modern or efficient or something.
Garvey: That kind of advertising seems to be very common with brand name products. They are always trying to maintain brand loyalty.
Lita and Garvey talk about advertisements in Hong Kong. Garvey likes the billboards, while Lita thinks there're too many advertisements. They both hate leaflets and broadcasts but like the way that advertising agencies use comedy in their campaign.
