    If you pick the wrong answer it plays an unskippable ad again and again until you have taken notes on the ad so you can be sure you pass the exam. Black mirror episode in real life.

    Obligatory:

    A decade ago this was a joke.

    Now its basically here.

    Only… what, 2 years until ‘drink verification can to continue’ is real?

    Comment by OP:

    So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?

    I had Bob’s Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, “choose your commercial” thing.

    After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that’s when I looked up to see this

    I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.

    I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn’t actually post it), and it was still sitting there.

    I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back

    Then I hit “post” to actually make the post.

    Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn’t go away

    I’ve had Bob’s Burgers on all morning and I’ve yet to see this again

        Some people twist themselves into a pretzel to lick corporate boot, it never ceases to amaze me

  • Cancel subscription and move on, don’t just sigh and answer it. Companies try to milk us like malnourished cows, when people stop consenting to it then things will change.

    Oh look, now I don’t have to even consider getting a Lexus or a Hulu subscription!

    Yo ho ho and fiddle-dee-dee, the pirate’s life is the life for me!
