I really wish TiVos would come out over here already, because I would snap that up in a heartbeat. I really think I ought to be able to watch Law & Order: The Munch and Finn Show Stabler Goes Postal Yet Again Special Victim Unit without being told my job is a waste of money and I'm a chicken (some internet-only bank--FirstDirect?), that my girlparts smell and sticking Yeast Infection In A Quiet Wrapper So You Can Pretend You Don't Bleed From The Crotch Like Almost Every Other Woman up there is a splendid idea, oh and by the way, you should eat breakfast not because you're hungry or you want to or because it's fucking healthy for you, but, obviously, because it makes you thinner--but hey, everyone knows thin = healthy, right?

(Yes, I get twitchy about commercials a lot. Help me feel like less of a freak by sharing your own peeves re: commercials/advertising?)

For me advertising means please don't buy our stuff because every penny spent on the overpriced product is partly going to go into soiling yet another magazine, house, mailbox, TV Show, Radio Program, etc...

Usually you can find an equally good product from a company that doesn't advertise so aggressively for a far letter price, I usually call it: "Buying the ads and getting the product for free".

So please no, if you want me to buy your product, please don't advertise it. If I need it, I'll come looking for it myself.
