Wasn’t there some Disney movie that came out on DVD and then a lot of people got mad because there were previews which you couldn’t skip at the beginning? I thought I saw an SDMB post about that a long time ago.

Personally, I would refuse to watch any channel that had pop-up ads, unless they got rid of the regular commercials to make up for it.

I know the DVD release of [Cradle Will Rock](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0150216) had a bunch of ads at the beginning that you couldn’t skip. Pissed me right the hell off, I’ll tell you that much for free.
