Both my husband and I HATE commercials! We have 2 remotes and as soon as a commercial hits the mute button on one is also hit!
If I am alone, the TV is off unless there is a movie (without commercials) that I want to watch.
I agree, if there is an annoying commercial it turns me off so badly I would never buy the product or shop in the store!
Maybe they should give some of the out-of-work people the job and get rid of some that are causing this!
