To a certain extent, I used to feel that way too. But now I have to ask 'why waste your time hateingthe ads?'

Sure they could be better or more entertaining. But most ads are easily recognizable and easily ignored. As much as I get a similar reaction to being manipulated once I recognize the manipulation I can use the info for my advantage or to move on.

Maybe this is naive but without advertising how robust would the worlds economy be?
