I wouldn't like it either... Just an idea...

John, your comment about the phone advertising reminded me of something I hear once in awhile (right now).

I use AT&T as my long distance provider.

Whenever I make a toll call (no matter how small), just before it starts the ringing process, I hear a little chime followed a quick "AT&T". I hate it! But it is a subtle advertisement.

The only problem, it doesn't make phone bill go down!

When you rent a video tape, you have to fast-forward all the advertising crap to get to the movie you're after.

Maybe the Players would have a feature (like some VCR's) that skip commercials?

This whole idea really sucks to me...
But, when you look at the way everything else has evolved into an advertising scheme, it would be possible.

Just food-for-thought...

I would hate to see it happen...

Joe
