Those gas station ads are so offensive to the senses. I want so desperately for them to stop. I used to live near Cupertino, and the Valero station on De Anza and Prospect always played the local classical radio station.

KA-CHING - now everybody who wants to make an eavesdropping car system that plays you ads will have to pay Ford in order to add this feature to their cars!

At eavesdropping.
It's so absurd.. I think anything goes at this point, so long as the line gets pushed back a bit.
