I actually don't mind non-intrusive ads. What ever happened to simple banner ads at the top or side of the screen? Now advertisers are forcing ads down your throat any way they can. The hijack method seems to be popular these days. The website won't load until the video ad has played, or the DVD won't go to the menu screen until the production company logo animation – or worse, the trailers – have played. The message is, "You're gonna sit there and watch this f@#king crap or we're not gonna give you what you came here for." This is why people are willing to simply pay for content to make the ads go away. Unfortunately, some services, like Hulu Plus, give you ads even if you pay for their stuff.
We're heading closer and closer to this, and it terrifies me:
