Thanks for clarifying that but it doesn't change much for me. Welcome to the world of free market capitalism and marketing and advertising and competition and supply and demand. You've been bombarded with it for years, are you just now noticing it? None of these companies are holding you down with tape holding your eyelids open while you watch their commercials. You have a choice. Even if you don't have a DVR or download programs to your computer, you can just change the channel during commercials breaks or mute the damn thing or even switch it off. I can just tune out commercials and think of something else or do something else instead of letting them take over my thought process. I just don't think it is that big of a deal.
