Same. I just ignore everything, and with really stupid ads (that don't even mention their product/brand, or maybe I can't see it; same result) I wonder who tf is getting paid for that.
Sometimes I make a special note to avoid the company, because 2-5 minutes of bullshit is not an ad and you deserve to fail.
But having worked in affiliate marketing, I can tell that people do buy A LOT of stuff based on ads. I was running mostly targeted campaigns with relevant products on relevant websites/forums and relevant keywords on Google/Yahoo/Bing, but even on untargeted ads work.
AdSense used to work (probably still does, I hated it from the first try), and I can't fathom who clicks on those ads and even makes a purchase.
