Here's a MAJOR rant of mine: ads.
I mean ads are bad enough with them simply being displayed on a page you're looking at... I remember back in the day when NO ads made a website look professional and official, but now, it seems like there's not a single website out there that doesn't have at least three ads on each page... then it got worse, we started having to sit and wait through 30-second commercials just to watch maybe a minute-long video on YouTube... and as if that wasn't bad enough, NOW we have to face the same kind of thing just to play games on the internet (like Yahoo! Games and such).
And don't even get me started on commercial breaks on TV... I mean it's hard enough as a writer trying to cram as much content as you can into 21-minute's worth of script and have it all flow smoothly and make sense, but now half hour shows are about to be shortened again to 18 1/2 minutes... that's going to make it impossible to write a decent half hour script!
