I’m waiting on Panasonic (Panasonic, was it?) to act on their trademark to have interactive ads on their TVs. You have to yell a product name or marketing keyword (McDonalds! PlayStation!) out loud if you want the ad to stop. It stays if you can’t or don’t yell :)

They saw the "drink verification can" thing and thought it's actually a good idea? I guess the torment nexus is next.

We'll see Torment Inc. with a $4T valuation before Q2 2028.

Mark Andressen will be in the picture somehow, I just feel it.

It's a Sony patent: https://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454?oq=8246454

But yeah the 10th image in the patent literally has

> Say "McDonald's" to end commercial

with a picture of a man standing up and shouting "McDonald's!" as an example.
