Double Stacking Ads
This has probably been going on for awhile now; however, I don’t watch much TV aside for Saved by the Bell as I’m getting ready for work. I recently stumbled upon an ad that was pretty weird. In fact, it was technically 2 ads in one, since TBS was using the black bars that normally sit on the edge of the screen when an SDTV show is being broadcast through their HD channel.
So not only are they trying to sell me Tide, TBS is also mentioning their new Conan O'Brien show as well...
I find this really bizarre, since it’s like were now a few steps closer to those stupid dystopian societies from the movies where its people are constantly bombarded by advertisement. I mean, when will this trying to sell us stuff stop? Pretty soon the networks are going to try to display advertisements during the show and… Oh wait, they already kind of do with those weird pop-ups.
