Broadcast and cable TV is getting harder to watch with the overwhelming
number of commercials.
And… how did most of the different channels agree to go to commercial
break at the same time?
I also wonder how some of these insurance companies can afford to pay
claims with the millions of dollars they pay for air time (spots) to run
their commercials. (That guy who throws his wallet in the water needs
insurance for sure… that moron drives a car.)
Then the pharmaceutical commercials… the possible side effect “follower”
is nearly as long as the pitch itself. The medicine may elevate one suffering
for some condition even worse.
Some say, “internal bleeding, shortness of breath, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat,
low blood pressure, possible fainting, bleeding gums, be cautious driving and
possible death”. (You may feel better but don’t smile about it if your gums
are bleeding.)
Possible death’? You gotta be kidding! Possible fainting? For the rest of us
on the road with you.. we pray you have good car insurance.
Yea, get rid of that achy knee… trade it off for the galloping trots and
hemorrhoids.
Finally I timed a cable news show. 7.5 minutes of program… 4 minutes
of commercials. Now the FCC (which I am a little familiar with) wants to
deregulate commercial communications even more.
PS. I’ve actually had to have my satellite dish provider to send me a new
clicker because I wore out the memory button on the first one.
There… I feel better. Hopefully no side effects.
