I imagine it'd be worse than that. Those are just personalized ads. You ever have a dumb jingle that you can't stand, but you can't get it out of your head? Imagine that not only with a visual component, but as a fully unfiltered thought you did not consent to.

In all honesty, that description sounds like a mental disorder.
