Definitely. If everyone took the stand that the most important speech to protect was the speech that they found *most* offensive this sort of drivel would never get past the smell test, let alone start pushing us down the aforementioned slippery slope.
TFA could almost be read to have the following conclusion: Violent behaviors correlate with a higher engagement with surroundings as well as increased awareness - at least in the virtual space.
Makes sense the television ads would have an opposite correlation - I would imagine that placement type advertisement within violent content would have a higher portion of mindshare, while commercial advertisement between segments of a violent show would have a lower portion. The engagement is with the violent content itself, not the timeframe it exists in.
This is how I feel anyway when I deal with customer service/techs - sometimes it would be a relief to have one deck me and get it over with instead of rolling through their script...
