I bought a magazine subscription one time, and read the articles and looked at
the pictures--but completely skipped the ads.
Several times I've read books and thrown away the book covers which had ads.
I've bought CDs which had ads for more music by the same performers...and felt
no obligation to watch stop and read the ads.
I went to a movie theatre and slipped in late, after the ads were over.
I drove downtown and didn't read any of the billboards, I was so busy watching
the traffic.
I walked through a Barnes and Noble store and didn't stop at their "new
releases" promo table.
I have a mailbox, right beside a trashcan. I receive mail, but throw the grocery
flyers in the trash.
The Fair Use Police haven't arrested me yet.
Please explain how TV shows are morally different, and point to the section of
the law that makes them legally different.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

A noticable change in the content on TV is an increasing focus on commercials
(ads) and, consequently, the programming is deliberately planned to keep the
viewer hooked with reality shows, raw emotions, uber-graphical depiction of
violence and/or sex (tears, blood and sperm).
The programming is serving the commercials, not the other way around. Hence the
position of the networks in this is borderline hyprochricy - they have for years
dumbed down public TV to serve ads. As a viewer and parent you are at these
vultures' mercy. Is that fair?
