How old are you? The reason I ask is because it was very common to watch movies with ads via free-to-air TV in the 90s, at least in families that didn’t have cable TV.

Why would anyone put up with the attack that is advertising? If it requires you to watch ads, it’s not worth it. You wouldn’t sit through a free movie if it meant a stranger showing up every few minutes and offering to let you rim them, (it’s not that no one wants what their offering, it’s that they don’t care whether you’re interested or not. They’re still going to show you their asshole) why would you allow a similar violation of your mind?

Yeah, there’s a history here. That being said, newspapers have included ads and purchase fees for a long time AFAIK.

Similar violation? How in the actual fuck is watching a few ads in anyway whatsoever even close to what you described?

It’s quite simple because not think the exact way you do and have the same priorities.

you’re right. at least, depending on the person, there’s a chance rimming could be enjoyable. not so with ads that quiz you.

I never claimed that ads aren’t annoying just that it’s bizarre to compare it to sexual harassment.

I’m, that’s how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It’s been this way since television started.

That’s the point. The movie isn’t free. You pay for the admission by rimming that guy. If you don’t want to do that, go to a different cinema and pay with money.
