I remember a company patented an invention where people would have to shout <brand name> at the TV to get the advertisement to stop.

Would it allow or reject “FUCK COKE!”.
Probably force-repeat the ad.

I’m not a human psychology expert by any means but I’m afraid think this would probably still work in their favour.
“There’s no such thing as bad publicity” is a thing because just having your brand name out there (even if it’s bad news) is better than it not being out there at all.
Fuck advertising and the greedy profit-driven place it comes from.

It offers a Pepsi instead.
The sad thing is, we engineers are building this dystopia. Maybe even fellow HN readers. Our next JIRA ticket in the queue is to shove another ad onto another previously unmonetized surface. Many of us are actively bringing about this world!
The engineer who built this grocery screen was probably highly compensated for it. The biz guys who just hi-5'ed each other for "crushing it" are too, and the entrepreneur is probably already a millionaire. Everyone's making money by being part of the problem.
