It's right before elections here and I am SO fed up with all the politicians, each one slinging more ?&%$ on each other. It's disgusting and I am ready for this election to be over. Right now I am recording most shows so that we can forward thru the ads. (OK, so at the bottom of the page, I just saw an ad for some legislation!!! Just can't get away from it, huh?)

Can't think of any I do like. Once in awhile I will see one I think is kinda cute but most of them are just annoyances. The Staples (loud mouthed customer), ATT, all the political ads, and the drug ads (after all the warnings of what side effects are possible who would take them)...oh I am droning on like one of those commercials...sorry.

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!

I find the commercials for Staples very annoying..to begin with..I hate yelling and loud voices. Last week I was in Staples..and dreaded going in because I knew someone was going to yell "wow, that is a low price" Low and behold..someone did..gezzzzz...grow up people.

We have less trouble without the DVR but still their equipment and service is lousy. Between 5:00 AM and 5:22 AM we are always without service. Now it happens all day long. It's very frustrating when you are watching a movie and miss the last half hour!
