it does matter imo
just like people who spend £50 on some GAP hoodie with big letters on it that advertise GAP why would you want to consume advertising in that manner?. there are no shortage of mildy funny youtube videos out there you could watch instead. virals are designed to trick you into sharing advertising with your friends by faking amateurism. i think more advertising is not really a helpful thing in life, however subliminal. they now have campaigns whereby they pay popular people/taxi drivers etc to work in positive messages about products into their conversations with you. the only way to put a stop to it is to mention to people when they are being advertised to when they perhaps don't realize.

I totally agree with you
Just the other day I was walking down the street drinking a can of Coke (TM), when I saw a giant advert for Coke (TM).
Anyway, the point is to buy Coke (TM)

Damnit
I hate being advertised to. I'm boycotting Coke (TM) now.
Unless you knew that and want me to buy Pepsi (R) instead. Maybe I'd better boycott that as well.
Good job I don't like either of them really.
