Advertising

Myspace playlists stop playing to make way for AT&T pop-up advertisements that appear just off to the right side of the browser's window, so you can't X out of them without scrolling horizontally.

"Free" clips and full episodes are available online for shows like South Park, Futurama and The Daily Show. Each South Park episode is plugged with three Need For Speed advertisements, played at twice the volume level as the show. MasterCard commercials air at the beginning of each Futurama clip, then stream seamlessly into the next clip with its own precursor commercial. Any attempt to seek past these ads is restricted by the website. YAHOO! "A little bit of purple" advertisements air at the start of every episode of The Daily Show and again every time you fast forward.

On the red line from Chinatown to New York Ave. there is a Nestle Quick advertisement illuminated on the tunnel walls of the subway as the train is moving. It animates in flip-book fashion to create a motion picture of the Quick bunny dancing around chocolate milk mix and smiling.
