Be glad you've never seen the kind of ads we get. If there is any thought put into them, it's about how to melt the viewers brain most efficiently.

It may not cost money, but it costs me a lot of restraint. Most of the ads (which all are by far louder than the regular program for some reason) are annoying enough to make me turn of the TV if I see too much of them.
I seriously doubt that the ads are actually tied to the program anyway - if a company directly pays for a show, it's usually told so before the show begins. The rest of the ads is just the usual tripe.
If they were actually interesting, I wouldn't mind half as much. But most of them I'd classify as torture.
