I usually end up thinking they're right and I'm wrong; I must be watching a television show that is not nearly suited for my demographic.

I would much rather see someone pitch me something I may actually want as opposed to a Sham Wow or a Slanket (see I said Slanket Matt). I would probably break the billboard though if it said "Hello Kyle how would you like a new computer today I seem to remember yours is on the fritz." I agree on the targeted ads.

Augmented reality is here and voice/face recognition software is getting better and better. I don't think face recognition ads that speak directly to a person are far off.I like Germany's take on this with emotion recognition cameras but I would sure hate to be the guy scrolling through all the tape to see what people's reactions were to my ad.
