I didn't have a choice back then. Now that I do, fuck ads!
Also, no one had a happy face watching same ads for 150th time.
Yeah, it was more like "wait until the boring commercials are done" because there was no other option.
Yup.
Especially the very low quality local ads that ran 3x as often as any others.
I curse the day when they realized negative marketing works as equally or better. At that point we started getting dumb ads which you remembered because they were so dumb.
