I understand that adds are a necessity but this is ridiculous. Sometimes the advertisements last as long as the program time they interrupt. I don't know if I am an exception but I mentally shut down all incoming signals when the seemingly endless barrage of add antics begin. Of course they time the interruption to happen when the drama is really tense. This is supposed to leave us happily and calmly waiting until they finish delivering their quota. Unfortunately for them, at least in my case, I feel less inclined to listen. In fact, because they have been rude enough to interrupt my entertainment I decide right then and there that whatever it is they are selling I am not buying so there!
My question is this, are these add people so ignorant of human nature that they don't consider anger at being interrupted a very likely possibility? Or is it that they conclude that there are more people who will remain unangered by their rudeness and so are playing the stats?
