Ad creep

Ad-creep refers to the increase of advertising. The virtues of advertising are debated, but ad-creep especially refers to advertising which is "invasive and coercive", like ads in schools, doctor's offices and hospitals, restrooms, elevators, on ATM's, on garbage cans, and on restaurant menus.cite web |url=http://www.macmillandictionary.com/New-Words/060918-Christmas-creep.htm |title=Macmillan English Dictionary Word Of The Week Archive - "Christmas creep" |accessdate=2007-12-26| date = 2006-09-18|format= |work=New Words|publisher=Macmillan Publishers|first=Kerry |last=Maxwell|quote= …ad creep, the expansion of advertising to non-traditional places and objects, e.g. fruit, public toilets, and garbage cans,]

In the Futurama episode A fishful of dollars, it is revealed that in the year 3000, ads play in people's dreams. Philip J. Fry complains that in his times ads were "Only on TV and radio. And in magazines and movies and at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and T-shirts and written in the sky. But not in dreams. No, sir-ee!"
