Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I never noticed this in Southern California, but in Northern California, whether I'm watching Hulu or network TV, I get ads from Honda/Chevy, Sleep Train, Citibank, and very little else. It's starting to drive me batty. Do service providers (I have the same provider for TV and Internet) control which ads are shown?

If it's like everything else, the ad server knows what geographic area you're from and advertisers buy ads with geographical targeting. As a western Canadian it is painful - not enough business buying online ads so you'll get the same poo poo 100 times in a row. Especially this Mr Big campaign
