OK, ads on regular (free) tv, but when you pay for the privilege (cable, satellite), grr. Even WORSE in my book is the ads going on WHILE the program is playing! For example, I am watching "Deadliest Catch" and they put up promos for another program! VERY distracting and frustrating!
I'm with you. Every fifteen minutes they take up the bottom third of the screen WITH SOUND EFFECTS to promo other shows and they need to knock that off. It's very distracting.
When cable came out, it was supposed to be commercial free since we were all paying for it.
Now we're paying an arm and a leg for it and be besieged with excessive and annoying ads and promos.
If I see one more male enhancement commercial, I'm going to blow a gasket.
