To be fair, that’s your personal thing, because you have knowledge about this topic. In movies and TV a crap ton of stuff is abbreviated to not bore the audience to death.

They are manipulating the weather! It would be clear as day if there wouldn’t be one hurricane after another.

Unprompted, I will tell you the most obnoxious ring tone I have ever heard. It was on the subway and a voice was suddenly loudly proclaiming: “Warning! Warning! The owner of this phone is a self-confessed binge drinker” until some douchebag picked up the call.

That’s only true if you’re a large corporation doing it.
