I can understand the need for print ads on the Internet. I'm sure they cover a lot of the costs of providing service.  I can ignore them while I read other stories. But what I cannot tolerate are these audio commercials that suddenly pop on while I am trying to read my e-mail or a news story. Who the hell decided this was acceptable? Comcast seems to have an epidemic of them. Do other providers? The only solution is to turn down your volume, which is a pain because you have to keep turning it up for news items you do want to hear. Once again I have to complain about the bullying of greedy unnecessary advertising that is taking over our lives. Why doesn't anyone complain?
