You're right, but I think that takes the spirit of the issue a bit too far. In my experience, it's highly dependent on where you live. Where I live, which is somewhere between urban and suburban, there really aren't enough ads plastered everywhere such that it's at all interrupting. I don't think most people outright hate every single form of advertising – it's the frequent interruption, obnoxious music, unreasonable audio volume, and over-repetition that frustrates people, not to mention the quite blatant social engineering present in at least half of TV commercials in America. In certain urban centers, yes, the outdoor advertising approaches the absurdity of TV commercials, but that by no means represents most livable places. Most reasonable people would agree that there is an acceptable level and forms of advertising.
