But really, concern about adverts? I can't imagine that there are actual people out their who could be swayed to purchase ANY product or service because of an ad; indeed, the only thing that TV ads ever do for me is to inspire me to NOT purchase. Now, the good old days when airfare sales were advertised in newspapers...
Believe that GE ad highlighting their engines and the United plane shows the interminably GROUNDED 787! The irony is most likely missed by most viewers who probably couldn't tell a Boeing 787 from a Boeing 737.
