>>Movies - can't be bothered to sit 15 minutes and watch trailers before the movie actually begins. I've heard that one guy actually sued the house for lying about the movie start times. I'm not buying DVDs for that matter - maybe from $5 bin when they're old enough. And I don't have a DVD player - watch them only via a nifty little Korean player which lets you skip the ads. I even replaced my car radio with a simpler one but with AUX jack so I could listen to my own, ad free. Nobody shouts at me while I drive.

>One slogan is something like "Let's see it in panavision." How about this slogan? "Let's see it already!" :)

The advertisers have to earn a buck, eh? They have to say something... and if there's nothing better to say... it's like the language of house peddlers (aka real estate dealers) - when there's nothing else to say, they'll insert "spacious", just for those who can't understand units of measure.

At least panavision was something you could see. Worse offender, IMO, was the latest "Titanic", where the most important selling point was "it cost $nnnnnn to make".
