This fits in with a lot of annoying advertisements. If they did this in front of a movie theater or rental place, I'd think it was a great idea(minus visible wiring!).

But, it seems advertising genius' think that annoying people will get them to buy a product. I've visited websites recently where it is impossible to read the content because of strobe flashing type ads on the side or top which destroy your concentration.

Oh, Mr. advertising guy. The Caveman ads where funny the first 300 times I saw them. Now, they just suck.

Yesterday I popped onto Drudge and had to click away. The top ad banner was strobing like crazy...it hurt just to look at it.

And the advertisers just don't seem to get it when it comes to repeatedly hitting people over the head with commercials. The caveman ads you refer to are the ones from Geico right? Their entire campaign has been going downhill since they made that gecko talk in my opinion.
