I think Congress needs to outlaw Captivate Network.
I was in a downtown building this morning, heading up in the elevator. I saw there was a TV screen on the top of the right side of the elevator, streaming stock quotes, the weather, time and, of course, SUV ads. I noticed it was on the "Captivate Network." How creepy is that? I looked down at my shoes for the rest of the elevator ride.

Ya know, I also hate those other captive audience ads in bathroom stalls. Anyone else see these? Argh.

:hi:

1. Seen it, ignored it.
We have a branch office that has those in the building. I don't bother looking at it.

2. Sometimes
I use it as a conversation starter.

There will be a headline about, say, Martha Stewart's ankle monitor, and I'll say something like, "So how come Ken Lay is still walking around?"

This has spawned some interesting conversations. Fidelity Investments occupies about half the building I work in, and not all of them have drunk the kool-aid.
