Josh and I finally got to go see The Dark Knight this weekend. It was amazing! The movie theatre was having a bit of trouble at the beginning, though. We had been sitting in our seats for over 45min. before the movie even started! Then, after we finally get going the commercials start playing. I don't understand why we have to sit through hair and clothing commercials now. I'd much rather watch more previews than sit through terrible commercials. The very first commercial they showed was an add for Levi's Jeans. It had a teenage couple taking each other's clothes off making very strong sexual innuendos. It was awful!! Josh said it was the worst commercial he'd ever seen. Then, the very next commercial had guys lusting after the women they'd pass on the street or in the store and picturing them in nothing but their underwear. I mean, when you feel like you need to walk out of the theatre just to bypass the ads before the movie you know it's bad.
Josh and I get to go see a movie in the theatre maybe 2 times a year and I hate that we have to sit through these kinds of commercials just to see the movie we've been waiting to see.

I am so with you on this one! We went to see The Dark Knight also on a "date night". I felt like I needed to cover Rusty's eyes for half the previews! Not sure what to do about this dilemma.... when did they start showing commercials instead of previews of upcoming flicks????
We too saw the Dark Knight, minus the scandalous ads. But related to the subject, Yahoo has started putting some kind of ad for a dating service called "True" on the left, right or top of the screen when I check my email and it is not always appropriate. I use Firefox and have Adblock plus to knock that stuff out now... In the world and not of the world, great post Yosha!
I agree! Garbage in, garbage out. My hubby has strong opinions on porn and sexual addictions. Even a seemingly innocent commerical can turn their heads. What is the world coming to? I won't buy jeans just because people are ripping clothes off in the commercial!!! Seriously!
