Yeah, commercials are the main reason I got XM satellite radio in my new Acura RL. With 150 digital channels of commercial free music, there's always something good on. I'm so happy with it, I got it for my home stereo as well!

Ok, I'll stop now.

Forced ads and previews on DVD's piss me off no end, but those aren't really embedded. Product placement doesn't bother me in the least if it's done organically. It ads realism to see characters consuming a Pepsi rather than a generic red Cola. The more blatant ones, like Taco Bell in Demolition Man are amazingly annoying, though.
