Archivist David Rosenthal asks on his blog, Has Web Advertising Jumped The Shark?.
He points out that there are four big problems with Web advertising as it currently exists: The bad guys love it, the readers hate it, the webmasters hate it too, and the advertisers find that it wastes money. He then goes into detail on each point and concludes that not only does everyone involved hate the system, but that it is causing actual harm to society.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, it is against the law to open a soda bottle without

I must have already cited it, anyway Italians had taken it one step further. On evening prime time there was a 10 minutes show, Carosello (carousel), consisting entirely of ads.
The catch? the advertised product was forbidden to be the main theme of the short film, it could not be shown for more than 4 times or 30 seconds, and so on.
The result? Entertaining short films, 20 years of success, people still remembering some slogans now, 40 years after the last episode went on air, a generation of italian film makers and illustrators cutting their teeth on those.
