now it's back to being in the show, radio has been doing it for a while now

Or maybe this is the next step in evolution of ads, embedded game active ads

yeah radio down here really abuses that idea it gets really annoying you are enjoying a song and bang here comes the dj talking shit about a product...

on tv programs i can hang if they do it like they do here (talk shows specially we are streaming a local show that has become pretty popular and their advertising style is tastefull) every time after and before the break they talk about a product or sometimes even dedicate time to review it.


if they do it with style it is ok if they bluntly advertise then it sucks the advantage is that ratings will dictate the style and erradicate bluntness people will simply tune out if advertising sucks.
