You would think, but it seems to me that people have become so complacent about the proliferation of ads that most won't complain, and the bean counters will figure that the revenue gained outweighs the revenue lost.
When I first saw ads above urinals, I laughed; how clever.
When I first saw ads applied to the sidewalks of New York, I shook my head; clever, but that's public space being defaced.
When I first saw ads before movies, I got angry; I'm paying $10 to see this dreck
and you're making me watch ads?!?
Now I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!
