There should be a quiz about the ad that you have to answer correctly to be allowed to continue the show:

Where is the nearest Prodafanilexicol store?

When does the sale end?

How many satisfied customers does Megacorp have?

Ok, enough people have answered correctly now, we will tell the players to come out for the 2nd quarter.

If that ever happens, the next thing that would pop up is a crowd source website with all the answers.

The questions can be personalized according to where you live, age, number of kids you have, credit history, etc. And a slightly smart AI can ask them in a way that's hard to look up. It just needs to be hard enough that your best solution is to actually watch the ad.

I think we should shut HN down now before someone actually gives ad companies new ideas.
