I can no longer use the internet without being affronted by advertising. Without any consent on my part, any page I may click through to, and just as many that I didn't will begin to run sound and video content that I've no interest in whatsoever. Furthermore, like the network television, the advertisements are set to a louder volume than the principle content. Even more offensive is the length of content is actually several times less than the ratio of network broadcast - that is to say, one will be obliged to wait through a minute of advertisement for as little as 2 minutes of 'content'.
Marketers have now managed to make the internet even more advertisement-laden than broadcast television! Where's the friggin' FCC on this aspect? All the concern about the internet is the profitability of corporations. Precious little is given to the consumer.
