TV commercial overload Grrrrr !!

[vorlon13]

Ok, 60 Minutes wrapped up with an insipid look at a Vatican choir,


*as they were going to commercial a blurb-over for the CBS site

* then a Viagra ad

* then a promotional for California dairy products of all sorts

* followed by a Cricket Wireless spot

* then we get to look at Nature Made gummy vitamins

* and a promo for Kevin Can Wait

* a promo for Man With a Plan

* and a promo for NCIS

* and Bull

* and then Training Day

* then a local politician ad on health care

* and then Anderson Windows

* and then an ad for Clarkson College

* 60 Minutes is back on for 7 seconds beseeching us to watch again next week

* followed by a Cialis ad

* followed by an AT&T commercial

* and then a spot for Alka Seltzer

* and an ad for the Discover Card

* then we get a promo for the upcoming Grammy's

* and a CBS News promo

* and then a promo for Scorpion

* and then Criminal Minds

* and at last, a reminder for Colbert


and then they went to the next show.


So, I'm already supporting (presumably) California dairy products, AT&T, and Anderson Windows via my recent purchases of their products, and AT&T I single out since the own DirecTV and I'm already paying them $200/mo for satellite TV.

I'm getting disgusted here.  I watch mostly from the DVR, but spooling through the commercials is getting to be as onerous as watching the damn things.

Something needs to be done.
