My wife and daughter had heard ads sparingly and they only listen to music. I assumed it was some sort of bug because it is very infrequent, but with today's corps I should probably invoke the inverse of Hanlon's Razor and just assume malice.

Hanlon's Razor Whose Hanlon and why do you need his razor? It's more hygienic to buy one from the store
