Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

What's sad is a significant amount of people have simply been conditioned to accept that level of noise in their lives.

If things are quieter and they aren't getting products shoved in their faces 24/7, they become visibly uncomfortable.

The quiet means you have to deal with your own thoughts and theyre certainly not going to do that!

Lol seriously! When we had our first kid and moved to a new place we didn't unpack the TV at all and that made things inside the house quiet. Like weird quiet.
