Last night in some ad-hoc Internet wanderings I ended up at a YouTube video of the touching ending of the movie "Ghost" with Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze.
A computer-generated ad popped up, advertising the prowess of a local big-name hospital in treating pancreatic cancer.
I really don't want to see medical ads about cancer when watching this...Considering the context: how gross.
So much for cybernetic "artificial intelligence" replacing the human mind.

My wife and I are in Paris this week and next. One difference you notice is the lack of DTC ads. While there is a big focus on health, wifi and information are available, you are not subject to this constant bombardment of Viva Viagra and Larry the cable guy selling heart burn medicine.

Who said 'gross' isn't effective in today's reality TV society?
Gross seems very effective from at least a few points of view.
Smart as a fox that artificial intelligence maybe.
