Re: Amazing I would rather pay a higher cost for TV service and have no ads, then have to deal with commercials/popups.
Even the stations own advertising (at the bottom of the screen) is insanly annoying.
Lets look at a football game. The game is sponsored by GM. The kickoff is sponsored by ATT. The commercial timeout is sponsored by Edward Jones. The starting lineup roll call is sponsored by Mcdonalds. The halftime show is sponsored is sposored by Staples. The "slow-mo" review is sponsored by Comcast. If an advertiser can get in,they will. I am waiting for the day where sports stars wear ads on their uniforms (sorry Nascar fans, auto-racing isnt a sport)
Its ludacris that even when watching LIVE tv, ads are shoved down our throat |

Me too, but unfortunately we live in a society with other people and we don't each one of us get to dictate to the rest how things are going to be. It's called the "mass" market because economies of scale are used to keep prices reasonable, but that also means that what is offered is a influenced by what everyone wants, with no one getting what they individually want, specifically. |

A lot of the pro basketball and soccer teams in Europe already have logos on their uniforms. It isnt uncommon to see a huge Vodafone logo on the middle of someone's chest. Im really surprised that someone like Jerry Jones hasnt tried to do this already. Its only a matter of time until one team makes the move and the rest follow. |

said by baineschile: (sorry Nascar fans, auto-racing isnt a sport) You're right, it's not a sport. to call it a sport would be demeaning. It's so much more than a sport. "Sports" are grown men playing kids games and for some reason most of us stare at them with amazement. (I can't believe it! He hit the ball with the stick!! Hooray!) Auto racing is way more than that.
AND if ads disturb you so much try reading a book, no commercials at all, not one. |

I'd go even farther. It might be ludicrous! |
