while i don't want to discount the issue of the increasing power of targeted advertising... in regards to the issue of RATINGS...
i say it's fine... as long as people have the individual right to "opt out"...

it would end an era of bullshit tilted Neilson ratings... and perhaps give a more clear view of what viewers... most viewers... really ARE watching and want to see on television.

as far as the other aspect of this whole thing... targeted advertising, the power of the media and the like... that's a entirely different story. i am strongly against the influence that the mass media has on our society as it is today... but that's a topic i am opting not to discuss right now...
not a good day for me and don't want to go off on a rant and piss everyone off... *sheepish smile*
