It’s funny, but I was watching a series of YouTube videos at work the other day and I didn’t even notice the ads at the bottom until a co-worker who didn’t know they put videos on some YouTube ads pointed it out. She was disgusted, and I was oblivious. I’d say the world is ready for them.

I think the world is ready, but we’re all getting desensitized to them. Who knows how they’ll get you attention next.
