If the ads on billboards were of real companies, or TV screens in old TV repair shops in game had ads playing, then again I wouldn't mind.
Are these ads to be intrusive?

WHATEVER YOU DO:
DON'T BUY THE ADVERTISED PRODUCTS!
This fails, and they stop.
They will get brand name recognition from gamers, let's hope it's negative, and they buy from someone else.
