I don't watch television anymore unless the remote is within arms reach. Whenever commercialls appear, I just change the channel.
What bothers me more than the amount of advertising (it has gradually increased over the years) is that the commercialls keep repeating themselves.
All I ever seem to see is Bowflex (psuedo porn), Abmaster (psuedo porn), lose weight quick (scam), re-grow hair quick (scam), girls gone wild video (porn), get-rich-quick (scam), fast food (like they need to advertise), or promotions for upcoming programming. Enough !!!
