This one I have actually looked at too, in fact I might even sell the ads themselves for a little money. I get every ones point, but this is why I think they might make it.

The ad only plays one time when you go to a site, and there won't be another one for 3 minutes, and that's only if you go to another page, so it cuts down on the annoyance figure, and the 5 seconds is really bearable.

I put it right up there adsense blocks on a page. Its better than flashing fairies, and doesn't try to sneak up on you like a text link. It can be played to a local area at a specific time, so you can target your town at 1:30 to try to get customers in on a slow afternoon to your restaurant.

The local factor is what makes it the best online advertising. That you don't have to try to sell even a click, and in 5 seconds its gone, your visitors do not have to browse around it, and you don't have to rotate anything.

I get that no one likes an ad, but people want paid. This is a good trade off for local businesses and Internet users.
