IMO advertising, in general, is just getting completely out of hand and is increasingly getting intolerably invasive.
I can't speak for others but advertising is having the complete different effect on me that it was intended in that anything that is advertised really heavily I think there must be something wrong with it and then go out of my way to avoid it.
Last night,
exactly as I was scooping my meal from the frying pan, simultaneously Avon (FFS?) was banging on the front door and somebody from sky was phoning to sell me an extended guarantee.
Sorry I know that's selling and not strictly advertising but the two are merged into the same thing in my brain.
Rant mode off.
