You knew it would come to this, right? Those ever more prominent bugs and screen crawls that assault you during your favorite programming are now on their way to becoming full blown, in-program commercials tied to the action and content you are viewing. Or at least that’s what Optalgin painkillers hopes.

Check it out here.

Has your head exploded yet? But wait. This might not be so bad. If programming never broke and these ads appeared once in a while, how bad would that be? Thoughts?
