Everybody take a look at this: (8 mins)

Very frightening, if you ask me...

I had a look at that...

...it wouldn't surprise me at all, to be honest.

Scary indeed...I watched a little red "X" in the top lefthand corner of my screen for eight minutes, and felt a cold shiver afterwards.

What did anybody else experience...?

Right...er...OK. Whatever a / an IamOr is...?

Just temporarily activated Flash (previously denied access by ZoneAlarm Pro...my choice BTW)...

Interesting...almost as good as the little red "X" in fact...

I must investigate this TiVo malarkey...advertisement-free TV eh...? Sounds good to me, especially for F1 / DTM / BTCC race coverage. And adverts for stuff that I might be interested in, rather than adverts for stuff that I wouldn't buy in a month of Tuesdays...well I'm obviously a naive punter that will be the very type of target for Googlezon...but at least I won't waste any more time fast-forwarding through adverts for "1000 Greatest Country & Western Songs" in a 10 CD gift-box with my SkyPlus box..."10 Greatest Prog songs" in a 10 CD gift-box might actually catch my interest, and I'll stop fast-forwarding the advert, watch it, mark it as read so that it doesn't get sent to me again(!)...and carry on watching the repeat re-run of "Tour Of Duty" for the umpteenth time....
