Ok ive gotten used to the ones on the soccer fields-where when there is agoal its flips the screen along the sides to the highest ad bidder
yesterday i saw a basketball game where they had the led pixl advertising version -
the ads where not only scrolling but blinking?
wtf?
ok sports gets its cash from ads and supporters but seriously...how about some Respect for the players.
Those ads are getting seriously distracting.
its a disgrace.

Edit : (the irony is that even those playstation games have those ads included to make it "more authentic"?wtf)

indeed, i've grown desensatised to advertising altogether since it's everywhere, i just see the boards around the pitch as indicators of the boundary, but the really loud ads frustrate me (stupid frog :dry: )

I uploaded an ad-blocking program straight into my brain which is great as I no longer see adverts. However I do end up walking face first into a lot of billboards and bus-stops these days...:(

Maybe one day there will be
led lights on the ball
by moving it the add displays itself.
