If the ads didn’t work, they would disappear.
Sad.
Turn off your TV programming.
I’ve turned off my TV except for sporting events, and a few history shows. I’d rather do more family oriented activities. TV is a waste of time in my opinion.
Good piece! I read articles and editorials on this subject to remind me of how much I appreciate not having cable or broadcast tv reception (except PBS, when the sky is clear and the wind is right). No surprises when you’re watching DVDs, although the shows we like feature plenty of Wrath.
A ten-minute wait in the doctor’s office is also good for another year without cable. I can’t believe people actually watch that morning-tv garbage.
I suppose because there are no kids in the house, I could laughingly sneer at a K-Y Jelly ad while making any number of pithy - to me, anyway - comments about who that ad should REALLY be targeting. The AARP - the Fearful Greedy Geezer Union - spots that have replaced Obama ads as the ones most quickly muted don't even have that dubious entertainment value.

The only time I look forward to watching live TV (and the commercials) is during the Super Bowl. One of the best nights on TV.
We have cut back the tv time in our house in a major way. We have begun homeschooling our children and once the ‘switch over’ to hd happens, we will be completely without tv. I long for the shows of the 50’s and 60’s (most I remember from reruns) but now have the selected ones on dvd. late night tv is nothing more than an infomercial with raunchy commercials of girls gone wild etc. I tell my kids as well as others that tv has become nothing but a gateway to hell (go see poltergeist)
I haven’t had TV in a year or so. I don’t miss it except for “The Dog Whisperer”.
