Don't tell me - let me guess - that was during the GM ownership era,
right?

What I find even much more sensually distracting, to the point of
rendering something completely useless, is that effect of playing
background music on a "multimedia" training course.  

My wife, who grew up in a shack in the Philippines with a house full
of siblings watching TV all day with the sound turned up full blast,
isn't bothered by stuff like that at all!  

I suppose I could train my brain to tune it out, but I usually just
walk out of the course instead.
