  1. Re:Wait a minute... on YouTube Loses Major Advertisers Over Offensive Videos (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't you get the memo? Skipping ads or blocking them is incouraging terrorists. A good consumer likes the ads and can't wait to get more of them. He even skips the content in order to see the next ad. And he buys! Oh man, he buys all the crap, especially when he doesn't need it.
    Young people must be educated to like ads and grow up to be good consumes.

    It's not false advertising as they sell you a license, not the sofware itself. Read the fine print.
