Hello recorder which allows me to fast forward the commercials. And torrents and usenets with stripped copies of recorded shows.

Never listen to the radio, I prefer my own MP3 player. Hmm, and those things are rather popular...

I wouldn't compare reading a newspaper, magazine and comic to reading a book. Besides, in a newspaper, the pieces themselves are generally not cut up with advertisements. I've never seen a comic book with ads in between the story. Only comic magazines do have those. And I never get as immersed into a comic, newspaper or magazine as I get when reading a book...

As Elfwreck already mentioned, blocking tools are almost as old as banner ads. And I've never had games or software I bought with ads...
