I'm so confused, I don't know what to believe anymore!!!
Could someone explain to me how a skipped ad, in which the person has absolutely no desire to ever see the ad, buy the product, or otherwise succumb to feminine hygeine products, is any different than walking away during commercials, or can in any way be construed as "lost revenue"?
If you walk away and miss the commercial, theft!!!!
Yep. Back in the day, I actually wrote to outpost.com praising them for the commercials. My favorite was the wolves sicced on the marching band [disclaimer: I was a band geek 25 years ago in HS].

I don't think I've read anything quite so frightening in a while.
You may have a point. Remember what Lou Gerstner said when he came on board at IBM:
