Annoying Advertisements

I am really getting tired of advertisements of new shows or returning shows popping up at the bottom of my TV screen. I keep getting freaked out by a blue ballooned latex glove with a smiley face floating up from the bottom of my screen. Others just have these massive images appear at the bottom of my screen.

I remember one year some network would have a character from one of the shows on the network at the bottom corner and then a sudden explosion of sort of confetti like white stuff would surround them.

Networks, stop it already.

Although also on the subject of advertising in the middle of a tv show, I am probably the only one who doesn't notice when a show is using a car in a scene to highlight the car because it is a major advertiser for the show. It just goes right over my head.

This is one reason why I prefer to watch my shows on DVD. The advertisements are just annoying.

You're not the only one. I've never really noticed product placement unless is is really obvious, like the drink glasses on American Idol or something.

Probably the only time a product placement really annoyed me was during a groundhog episode of a show where the character would use the same product at the beginning of each loop. Actually the whole season kept shoving the product in really weird ways.

SG-1? Colonel O'Neill's Fruit Loops, lol?

LOL, I'd forgotten that. But no, it was an episode of Eureka.

Eureka did a time loop episode? Awesome. I cannot wait to get into the show. Especially since I like the lead actor.
