It can seem like there is advertising everywhere out in the real world.

Does it bother you?

Do you notice it?
 
Oh agreed, it's hard not to notice it. Highly annoying, but it generates revenue, so we just have to put up with it.
 
SOME television ads are more entertaining than the programs. :D
 
If you mean outside of the internet, I don't really notice it much unless it's an ad that's really well made visually or just has a funny theme to it, like those "Your Wife is Hot" billboards you see on the highways in Florida for an A/C company. XD
 
It bothers me in certain contexts. In others, I can ignore. I took a lot of communications/media studies and learned more about marketing ploys, how to read what they mean and the ultimate goal behind them. We are surrounded by ads and I think it's important for consumers to become more literate about advertisements.
