If everyone bought them, advertisers would go bankrupt. You might as well not even run ads then. |
|
|
You may need to make them expensive to reduce the # of people who buy them. |
|
|
Of course, you're gonna have to have an ad for this... |
|
|
Or a really irritating(sp) one to make people buy it. |
|
|
Most ads already are nice songs and pictures of flowers, or beautiful people, or pretty cars. |

This device would have the beneficial result of forcing show makers to incorporate the ads right into the show - so Jack on 24 might pause to drink a Mountain Dew and comment on the terrorist-whupping energy it provides him at 3 AM, then proceed on with the whupping. Cartoon characters would themselves eat sugar cereal. Once, radio players did exactly this. With [Selador]'s help, let us turn the clock back to that gentle time. The world would be a better place. |

Bungston, are you sure? (shudder) |

I'd get sick of the music playing inbetween
programs. |

At one time TiVo machines (and some VCRs) had a commercial blocking technology that would detect a "special tone" put out before and after the commercials. Both would start and stop recording so as to not get 5 minutes of blank screen while you wait for the commercial. |

well...........hey my friends did a video on such a subject callled the amazing telecom blocker. |

I would love one of these. I watch very little TV, mostly because I cannot stand advertising for five minutes in every fifteen. What I really object to is paying for a TV channel and still being subjected to advertising. If I pay, i want it to be add free. The BBC here in the UK do this - no adverts because everyone who has a TV has to pay aprox 110 ukp per year to pay for it. However, it still annoys me that they can advertise their own magazines and stuff, like radio times. |
