Anybody else notice that advertisments are evreywhere now? On the back of bills, on cars (hoods and wheels), playing on a tv at the mall. Its crazy. You cant look anywhere without seeing advertisments anymore. Soon theyre gonna have advertisments that pop up from street lights everytime its red!

i wouldn't pay for a logo on a red light. Nobody likes to see a red light. A green light on the other hand...

Nah. It's going to go the way of Retinal recognition like in the movie Minority Report

A green light people only look at for a few seconds. A red light, on the other hand, tends to last about the average commercial length.

As for advertisements being everywhere, well. . . To be honest, it doesn't bother me. Just as long as they don't delve into any more pop-up-esque methods of advertisements, it doesn't bother me.

What really bothers me are the clothing companies like Abercrombie that charge extra for clothing with huge corporate logos across the chest. People should be getting payed to wear that crap, not paying extra.

You should be glad there just signs and what not. Just wait until they hire people to follow around town telling you how great a product is. :p

That already happens in some places.

At present, you typically get about 5000 invasions of ads per day. My signature probably among them.

True, but you aren't trying to make us buy anything.

Regarding ads I sometimes get annoyed when I see a really pathetic ad on TV or somewhere and just think 'what the hell was was the idiot making this ad doing?'

Also regarding brand names - I think the prices are ridiculous especially when you become a walking advertisement for them.

Ads irritate me. I was watching Smallville tonight and ads actually dared to come up during the show. Sickens me. If anything makes me really mad it's ads

haha! Youd be suprised how angry I can actually get, and ads tend to be a big cause, especially in my inbox, Hotmail is failing me in junk protection.

Ooooh and Myspace or whatever ads. Those talking emoticons! Someone had an idea for noise ones on here, which was a cool idea if you click them by will, but those Myspace ones...oooooooooooooh!!

I need one of Fig's angry dragons to convey that rage!
