Ad Skipping

You can't possibly pay attention to every ad you are subjected to. You can always try to avoid ads' invasiveness and irrelevence by muting the volume, looking elsewhere, fast-forwarding or finding ad-free media.

“Just think of those people who don’t look at the ads when they ride the bus or the subway — if you are reading a book instead, you’re stealing! Drive on major roads without reading all the billboards? Theft! Theft, I say!. Throw out your junk mail? Why, you criminal! Junk mail subsidizes the rest of your mail; to not read it is stealing or something! Take the brand label off of a pair of pants? Didn’t read the beer ad on the coaster in the bar? You evil freeloader! Stay where you are and wait for the police to arrive.”
