I dont know if its me or does any one else here find that the telly ads are getting longer in the program breaks TV3 is the worst i find they have programs on for an hour but if you take all ads away its only 25min worth
SKY IS AS BAD FOR IT it spoils viewing.

It's all a grand conspiracy to cater to the habits of smokers!

i ****ing hate adverts with a passion. Nearly more time watching them than the show and 90% of them are retarded and head wrecking.

Here are the ingredients of one 10-minute ad break during an Aug. 27 airing of Entourage:

“
Spike started off with a promo for its UFC programming, then ran spots for DirecTV; Unilever's Axe shampoo; B.F. Goodrich; Schering-Plough's Zegerid OTC; Jack Link's beef jerky; VF Corp.'s Lee Jeans; Screen Gems' latest "Resident Evil" movie; AT&T; Miller Lite beer; and Progressive Insurance.

But wait, there's more: Ads also ran during the break for PepsiCo's Mtn Dew soda; Pep Boys; Trojan condoms; Outback Steakhouse; Mobil motor oil; Sony Corp.'s Vaio laptop; Diageo's Captain Morgan Lime Bite rum; Kraft Foods' Dentyne gum; a DVD for the FX program "Sons of Anarchy"; and UFC action figures. The break was then garnished with what appeared to be two ads from local cable operators.

TV is, like, so 1980s, like.

And TV3 and SKY are just for shallow undereducated sorts who find soccer and all its commercially-motivated shenanigans to be interesting. Incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible.

If I ever watch TV nowadays it's for documentaries on TG4, current affairs on RTÉ or educational programmes on National Geographic. I last watched TV about three months ago.

I hate ads but what I really hate is why are so many ads dressing grown men up as old women. WTF? Who finds this funny? Retards
