Movie Trailers ARE Advertisements

So I hear about a movie that I like, and I want to see the trailer.  Well, I know I can go to imdb.com and likely look it up, all well and good.  (And, for the record, let me state this - yes, I know imdb.com is a free website to me and provides a fine service.  But.  Still.)  But then, before I see my trailer, they show me an advertisement.  But movie trailers are advertisements.  The movie is obviously a product, a product they want me to purchase, and the point of the trailer is to make me want to purchase the product.  Again, fine and dandy.  But if I'm going to watch the advertisement for a product, why should I have to watch the advertisement for another unrelated product first? As though an advertisement is the normal price I should have to pay to watch another advertisement.

Right, I know - because capitalism.  Still sounds like bullshit to me (as, in truth, much of capitalism does)...
