I agree with Dave by and large, but I'll argue anyways that it's still further invasion of headspace; advertisements take up brain processes that could be better used at thinking up cures for cancer or playing video games. It's not a big thing, those few seconds of fast forward time (it doesn't affect me personally at all, for one thing), but it is yet another space, another medium if you will, where people who do not have your best interests at heart can try and influence your decision making processes. Not positive. I saw a bumper sticker today that said “My other ride is your mom” and thought of you.

In the model that we have, advertising pays the production costs on what we watch on TV. No ad revenue means shittier TV with lower budgets. Having key frame ads like this doesn't really change the experience, other than that the fast-forwarding gives an intelligible result as opposed to fast-skipping quasi-gibberish. There's also the fact that it makes it easier to know when the commercial break is over rather than skipping through part of the show one is watching Honestly, I don’t have a problem with that.
