I really wish the car company sales event commercials would go away.

Seriously it's November 3rd and I'm already sick of them. They are pretty much the ultimate "fuck you" to poor people. I know where they can stick those giant bows...

but maybe I don't hang out with the right crowd. Yes, those ads are extremely irritating.

By the time the election comes around, you will be begging for car commercials so you won't have to see any more political ads.

Well, the ones showing drivers going recklessly down roads while at the bottom it says "Professional driver on closed course" that are bad, at times.

It's those &%$#@!!! prescription drug ads that drive me nuts if I am watching live and not DVR'ing.

I record everything. I don't think I have seen a commercial in at least 10 years.

I constantly have people trying to describe commercials to me, and they are shocked that I don't know what they are talking about.

I take care of my neighbors cats and dogs. And I'm always allowed to hang around and watch the TV. If someone doesn't have a DVR, I won't even bother turning on the TV. I am so spoiled.
