As Phụ Nữ reports, Vietnam recently announced Decree No. 342, which details a number of provisions to the national Advertising Law, due to take effect from February 15, 2026. The adjustments are expected to place stricter control on Vietnam’s online advertising activities to protect consumers and curb illegal ads.

Amongst the decree articles, some standout stipulations include a hard cap on the waiting time before viewers can skip video and animated ads to no more than 5 seconds. Static ads must be immediately cancellable.

Me: imdb movie name.. thinking it will save me a second.

"Click the stop signs"

Me: fuck it, I really didn't need to know if that actor was also the one who played in other movie.

We were trained into saving time with search engines, now I have to remember to not use them and just type in imdb.com and then use their search function
