I truly had advertising. What a mindless waste of time. If it is on the television, I will either mute the tv or I will DVR my shows, and watch them 20 minutes into the show so I can fast forward through the commercials.
I don’t read the San Diego UnionTribune. Besides the political reasons (it is a Right wing conservative paper whose approach to the world I disagree with), they have so much advertising. You can’t read an article without having to move from page to page and sift through tons of ads to find your article.
But what is really irritating me these days are internet ads. I hate when I’m on a website and a car drives across my screen, or a horse jogs across my screen. I will immediately stop what I am reading and exit the site, never to return.
I also hate when I am looking at a video and there is an advertisement before I can see the video. This I understand more, from a business perspective, but from a watcher’s perspective it is annoying.
I know that flash programming is the newest thing with the whole Adobe product line. I hate it. Advertisers have taken what could be a good thing and made it detestable.
Wouldn’t it be great if I knew how to have a car drive across your screen right now as you’re reading this! But I don’t.
