Holy crap. I thought the content of mainstream sites was uninteresting enough currently... now they add icing to the shitcake.  <_<

There's a reason I stay online during my freetime instead of watch TV - NO COMMERCIALS.

Let's hope that this new development in marketing doesn't touch our gaming experiences...

Gah!  Every time these bastards (advertisements/solicitation in general,) come out with some new way of shoving their product in my face, I have to further limit my own entertainment by removing or disabling features in software with meaningful applications. :angry:

What the? Another ad?! I am outra-- wait...what's this? The quality is superb! Not like those pixelated popups! Truly Pepsi is kind and just by bestowing this bounty of advertising upon my humble computer! I cannot wait to see what exciting messages await within this delectible morsel of high quality commercial goodness!
