I am sick and fvcking tired of advertising. Absolutely sick of it. Who died and made these a$$holes king of all media? At what point do they realize that they've crossed the line and there's a time to stop. Modern advertising is like multi-media graffiti, everyone is tagging everything in hopes that someone gives a $hit about what they're trying to hoc. I find myself increasingly angered and pissed off by any advertising, often times refusing to purchase goods that advertise repetitively and annoyingly day after day, hour after hour. What gives them the fvcking right anyway to more or less force network television to play them in exchange for gobs of money? Isn't that akin to network TV being one big whore and advertisers nothing but unscrupulous pimps? I'm sick of it!!! I can't stand it anymore. I hereby declare advertisers part of the Axis of Evil and move Congress to pre-emptively strike their headquarters and destroy their infrastructure without regard to planning or coordination as to what happens afterward! GOD DAMNIT I HATE ADVERTISING!!!

Cliff Notes:

F*CK ADVERTISING!!!
 
<Striking fist in the air> Right on.

Some groups will even turn off the lights on those giant billboards or on bus stops.
 
<Samuel L. Jackson>YOU GOT A HEMI MOTHERFVCKER?!!! WELL??? SPEAK MOTHERFVCKER!!!</Samuel L. Jackson> 😀
 
Wirhout advertising how would the networks make money? Without advertising you would have no or minimal TV and all stations would be subscribers only making your cable bill s couple hunder dollars a month and then you would bitch about that so learn to ignore them like I do.
 
Advertising? 😕 I don't watch TV and I have the Adblock FF extension installed, want to refresh my memory? 😀
 
...well that's why I don't watch the T&amp;V anymore..too many comericals and the overall content of the programing is suck..now all I watch are dvd's or VHS movies of my liking..it's not quanity that's important..it's quality. 100 or 200 channels of crap and commericals?? who needs it...

Tivo (or something like it), the pause button and taking a pee before the show starts works for me. FF or just skip them is even better.
 
100% agree. As an example, I don't have a cell phone and have no desire to get one. But if I was to get one there is no way in hell I would get a Cingular or Sprint because of how $#&amp;*%^$ annoying their commercials are. Nextel too. I guess Verizon is the only large cell phone company I would purchase from.
