I understand sponcers want to advertise the heck out of us poor suckers just trying to find entertainment on the tube. BUT ... This new thing of showing images on the bottom of the screen to advertise upcoming shows or events,while the show or movie is on. Is the ultimateslaughter of our viewing rights!I hate hate hate it and so do all my friends and family. It's why people are all rental crazy now. The programmers have gone far too far in advertising.
While I am on the promo rant I have a new/old pet peive to share. Advertising over the end credits or songs of a film or series. This is insanely botherng to everyone I know. Some of the films end with a oscar winning song that finishes the whole mood of the film. They are dashing this to peices! Disney channels,whomI usually like a lot. Have taken it to a newheight of stupid. They play partial music promos over the music at the end of series. Nogin plays partial vidios over the music at the end of music oriented show like Instant Star.{Get a clue guys} we watch the series "for" the music,during and at the end. This ruins the show or film for many.Or makes sure it ends on a sour note.How stupid is that?
((This part is new,,please read it.)) They found a new way to annoy the hell out of us. Now not only do thay flash the names of upcoming shows all over the bottom of the screens while we are watching a show. They are animating them. Things blow up and make noise while we are trying to watch a show we actually want to see. Is no one else complaining? Are we just going to let them ruin of entertainment with their stupid adverts? Come on join me... Tell them to stop. If enough people do...maybe they will?
