Irritating advertisement banners along the bottom of my HDTV screen during the movie.

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of having the movie they're watching disrupted with banners that are displayed along the bottom of the screen. Right when the movie is getting interesting along the bottom of my 46 inch HDTV screen pops up a "Mad Men advertisement". A couple minutes later another distraction, "Next on AMC" pops up. I'm not just talking about a small portion of the screen mind you, but at least 1/4 of the screen is taken up with text and pictures. Then a little while later the irritating AMC HD icon at the bottom right become "Fear Fest '09". Good GOD why not let us just watch the freakin movie and advertise upcoming AMC events during the commercials. Or better yet why not display these irritating banners during the commercials? I've gotten to the point where I've started to change channels just to get away from this madness.

I always thought that commercials on cable TV was wrong.

That's why more and more people are choosing to watch their favorite tv shows on the internet.
