With a higher volume than the tv show. And over half the screen, while they squish the credits (sometimes including the final teaser) on the other half. And simultaneously with the preview for next week's episode. And with little people for the show that's on next, running around on the bottom of the episode.
We're already getting flashy, invasive ads in TV programs. I suspect the only reason we won't get them in ebooks is technical limitations, not because they're "not appropriate" in the minds of the advertisers.
