Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

    This is the defacto stance of advertising agencies doing horrible things.

    “OOHHHH, You mean you DIDN’T want ads on your coffee maker or vibrator??? Our bad. This was a technical error we will fix immediately!”

      So it seems people don’t like ads on their vibratory which means they are viewing them. Let’s wait a couple of years for the anger to die down then do it again.

      They don’t admit it’s a mistake, call it an error, or try to fix. They call it a feature.
