grape_purple 05/28/17 12:15:51 PM #1:	Some ads are just 5 seconds, some are 15 or 30 or even over a minute and you can skip them after 5 seconds. But then there's obnoxious 30+ second ads that you can't skip, like, what's the point? That's the kind of shit that makes people use adblock.

Golden Road 05/28/17 2:09:26 PM #19:	The point is pretty obvious, but it's been years since I've seen an unskippable ad that was more than thirty seconds, and even unskippable thirty second ads are rare. Hell, fifteen second unskippable ads seem to be getting less common, even. Some ads are weird, though. Like a few years ago, there was about an 8-minute long ad that was just a police interrogation. I just watched the whole thing wondering what it was an ad for, or if it was a joke or something, but no, didn't seem to be advertising anything at all. --- Who's your favorite character from "Bend It Like Beckham"?
