It's a way for them to make commercial chaps happy.
I agree though, this may see the end of something that was a great idea.

The Comcast ad for video email, I just can't stand the guy in the advert.
The "Pepto-Bismol" ad, I won't repeat it on here, just in case your eating.

Not sure if this one counts, but the BBC America advert that starts off with the Queen saying "They say ones cows are mad..." is bloody annoying. Especially as it seems like every BBC video I've got has that ad on them, thank God for the skip option on my DVD player.

There is an advert for and Adult ADHD drug called Stratera I think.
side effects include, upset stomach, diarrhea, sexual side effects, anal bleeding, chronic depression, suicidal tendencies, lowering of immune ststem.
Do not take if you are pregnant, going to be pregnant, have been pregnant, high blood pressure, have a pulse, are HIV+, might have HIV, know someone with HIV, or if you live in Detroit.
Ask you doctor if Stratera is right for you.
I mean FFS, ADHD isn't that bad is it?
