Irritating Radio Ads

I know that some ads can be effective even while off-putting--think Mr. Whipple and his Charmin---but I'm wondering if the same is true on the radio.  There's a certain ad on Yahoo radio regarding fantasy football that drives me insane.  Every time it comes on I immediately switch to ESPN radio and leave it there.  My questions: Is this phenomenon common and if so, is it something radio stations take into account?
