Personally, I don't browse. If I want to buy something, I go in, buy it, and leave. If I were a habitual browser, certainly the commercial I saw, or, even worse, was forced to watch, would not induce me to buy the particular item. If anything, I would avoid it out of annoyance.

I will even go as far as to try to watch the commercials during my favorite shows like Lost, 24, Survivor and Teh Office so as to lend support to the companies paying for these shows to air. I am not saying that I will end up buying their products but at least I gave them a chance to sell me on it. Another thing, commericals are not all that bad to watch, for some are quite entertaining I think.
