Yes, I would mind ads! I avoid ads. For television I've set up a HTPC (Home Theatre PC) with SageTV and added commercial-skipping software so I don't even have to pick up my remote to skip the blasted annoyances. For DVDs I rip to my hard drive so I don't have to watch the opening adverts. In my web browser, Firefox, I use No Script to avoid 99% of online ads. The only time I voluntarily watch ads is during the Super Bowl even though this year's ads weren't all that spectacular.
