If you have been using an adblocker for years and turn it off for a moment, you really see how fucking bad it has become. It's almost like a dystopian movie.

An advertisment filled dystopian movie? That's the exact opposite of my new movie, "Barbie", only in theaters July 21st.

What, no product placement, even? But how will I know what kind of flavored seltzer will make me pretty if I don’t see what Barbie drinks?!

It's going to be Barbie-que sauce flavored.

…well played, lol. Although now I’m imagining liquid smoke flavor in a cold beverage, and I feel extremely conflicted about it.

It tastes like Worcestershire sauce, so tamarind and anchovies.

Actually, I could see that tasting pretty good, if it was served cold. Add tomato juice and vodka, and it would be like a fizzy Bloody Mary.

I use DNS black holes, adblockers, and I host all of my own media content. I rarely, if ever, see ads.

I will just stop viewing content if I have to go back to watching ads, it's that simple. I can't do it.

I can't even watch TV with my parents on the Tivo anymore. Even fast forwarding through the ads is tedious and makes me angry.

Same. I consider anything I pay for adblock services an investment in my health.
