Agreed.

Lately it seems everyone in entertainment and advertising is just deserving of "fuck you"s all around.

Internet advertising, as it currently stands, doesn't work.

Correct. It doesn't work in exactly the same ways that traditional mass media advertising doesn't work. It's just more visibly broken because the tools to distribute it also include the tools to track it.

Correct and exactly my argument from the other thread.

I've worked with both TV and web advertising. Web advertising was a MUCH tougher sell because of the numbers.
