| I don't like them
Especially when you have to wait for it to load a java applet or have to download some strange plug in. Plus if I am surfing at night I don't like to have to find the control to turn them down so I won't wake up those who sleep.

I don't pay my ISP to see AD's. The same reason I don't watch TV any longer. |

Truth be told, I don't. I do however have Java installed on my system and have I have Flash also. And since that is what a lot of the videos use I am up the creek unless I either unistall them or block all flash/shockwave objects and all java applets.

»flashblock.mozdev.org/
This plug stops the Flash file from playing and puts a placeholder with a play button in the center. If you want to see the animation, just click inside the placeholder. |

Seriously how can anyone like them? I find them annoying and get pissed off so often because of them. Any researcher who says we like them is a complete idiot and deserves to get shot for being so stupid.:D |

Re: WRONG
I'm, thankfully, not among them, but some people do actually like watching commercials. I think it could possibly be diagnosed as some sort of mental condition. |
