Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

I remember a while ago when this started appearing in chargers and they tried to act like it was an accident.

    This is the defacto stance of advertising agencies doing horrible things.

    "OOHHHH, You mean you DIDN'T want ads on your coffee maker or vibrator??? Our bad. This was a technical error we will fix immediately!"

    Back at the office:

    So it seems people don't like ads on their vibrator which means they are viewing them. Let's wait a couple of years for the anger to die down then do it again.
