I am sick of all the ****ing commercials!

[Groteske]

Do we really pay the cable bill just so the cable company can allow assholes to get paid by other assholes by forcing us to watch commercials? It's a ****ing asshole convention! And everyone has a nose pressed against someone.

I'm getting so sick of it all. Hell I don't care that they can't have interesting things running constantly but damn they could keep the hours of 3-7 when most people watch TV commercial free. Then **** all the rest of it can be commercial poison. And the Movies on TV! WTF is this?!!! If I wanna know about new cleaning products or how much bigger Verizon's balls are to AT&Ts balls I'd seek that shit out.

What's next? Shows are only 10 minutes long with 20 minutes of commercials?

Uh you said you barely watch TV and well it seemed to me like you where making a joke about how you are mostly watching commercials then the entertainment you want to watch. But eh I'm confuzzled now. Thanks~

Haha, no, I meant I barely look at a T.V screen.

my brother just had this huge rant fit about how NBC's cutting scenes in many of their hour-long programs to make room for more commercials... and that it's getting so bad in some cases that you can literally see more scenes from a given show once it's syndicated on another network than on the original network.

it's pretty bad. commercials are becoming a thing of the past what with TiVo and similar applications, watching programs online, etc.

then again, I watch the superbowl every year mainly for the awesome commercials, and some commercials are quite entertaining.. there's also a certain quality to them, I guess it's the nostalgia of having grown up with them my entire life, that'll probably fade in future generations.

I'd like to think they're on the verge of dissipating but for everything that comes out that allows us to 'skip' commercials, there comes more and more difficult to block ads online and before/after/during streamed video. They can't just give it up...even though it's an industry that hasn't even been around that many decades and they should know people loathe them enough that they'll continue to do everything in their power to AVOID having to watch commercials.

why do i have the feelin your think TV is a need and not a wanted luxury that you dont have to use....meh, i dont know why i got that feelin tho....itll puzzle me for awhile

you people PMS way to ****in much.

if you dont like something either a) make your own damn channel or b) stop watchin TV. Not like someone is takin away all the water or starving you to death. YAYYYYYY for grateful people.

Your idea wouldn't work, Groteske. Commercial makers pay to have the best slot times so that their commercials play during a certain show.
Ever notice why the Superbowl only has the biggest of companies advertising? Because they're the only ones that can afford it. If companies just advertised for eight hours straight then nobody would bother watching it and they would just be wasting money. Like house buying, it's all location, location, location.

If you don't like commercials most cable services allow you to record TV shows... Record what you want and fast forward through the commercials?

[BadpcGuy]

Watching TV for most of my life I've gotten use to it not a big deal to me.

you can always hulu your shows or osmething...

kinda sad how you gotta demean people tryin to make money cuz you cant watch your full Barney episode without interruption.

[V-Opolis]

Really? Wow.....With the somewhat positive criticism you called me a Barney lover! Sarcasm. Just as bad as me calling people assholes.

you dont like Barney?

[Boxxy]

you dont like Barney?

i thought it was assumed he did

OT: i love commercials and hate them at the same time since i love how they try to sell u stuff but hate that i buy it

i bought so much stuff off infomercials and commercials its sad (i own snuggies, the slap chop, the magic bullet, use oxyclean), its just the people yelling intimidates you to buy it and i usually do

[Abhorsen]

yeah there gotto be a real good movie on tv if i watch it cause i cant take these shitty commercials either. to bad nothing good is ever on tv in the netherlands, all garbage.. not even a single anime. mostly just crappy fail movies and soaps arround the evening seriously thinking of canceling my sub and stick with watching stuff on my pc like i always do.

edit: glad we do got bbc channels though. but the freakin tv guide never says when theres something worth while on lol so i usually miss it.
