If you were interested in a vacation in Jamaica, then suddenly during Law and Order on TV an ad for Jamaica appeared, it wouldn't be annoying any more than any other commercial. I think.

I'm way more annoyed then surprised in fact, I'm not surprised at all. It's like having a salesman ringing your door bell every 5 minutes. I don't care if I'm interested in the product or not. Don't call me, I'll call you. Thank you very much.
