You can thank Tivo for that...since we have learnt to fast foward through the commercials, or take bathroom breaks, or just walkn away...
They came up with this 'brilliant' idea...seemless intregration into the program itself, make it part of the movie...fast foward this...even the billboard segment has become more intrusive, no longer high above the highway, now they are on Taxis, public buses, trains, people themselves are becoming the 'billboard'with the logos all over the clothing. Sheep, sheep...sleep now....consume...reproduce...obey...lol.
You can't escape...from the moment you are born, the corporation wants your eyes and ears...and mind.
Follow Ups:
Good points. Being saturated with ads in films is/was only a matter of time considering how much the norm it has become in everyday life. Plus, when you go to the movie theater, you have to sit through 15 minutes of commercials before the movie trailers, and before being exposed to all that product placement during the film.
Going to the movies early to get a good seat means you have to sit through it all...I remember back in the late 60's and early 70's they used to show news shorts from around the world instead of the ads they do now...and yet cinemas still cry they are not making money.
