Annoying Commercials 2: Searching for the MUTE button

I work at an adult AFC home for those with TBI, and the channel of choice is Game Show Network.

Every commercial is either "take this med for condition you didn't even know you have" or "MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT!"
 
Grateful I don't have cable anymore.

I don't miss commercials that scream "honey, I made a huge financial decision without your input. Go look in the driveway!"
 
How is anyone still being exposed to commercials?

I don't know that I have unwillingly seen one in ten years.
 
That requires effort on my part. So a no go.

Only until you develop the habit.

I am now so automatic I mute ads at stangers' houses without realizing it. I've never had one complaint.

It's simple to just train yourself to never accept an ad: don't hear, don't view. Disappear them. They are raping your brain.
 
From Wiki: Television viewers are asked to report loud commercials that violate this bill to the FCC
Good luck with that btw.

The corporate lobby writes the laws that regulate it. Consumers have no rights. We exist so the owners can continue to buy additional mansions and yachts. We aren't even a product, we are a crop.
 
I like how AT&T assumes I know what Matt Stafford looks like, as if he's some legit NFL superstar and not some schlub who was pity-fucked into a Super Bowl win because the NFL really needed the LA experiment to work this time.
