Default Political ads

I hate them

I hate living in the heart of a battleground neighborhood , in the Heart of a battleground state.

I want my stupid Normal ads back.

Tonight's news cast had 4 product ads, the rest during the whole show are political.

They're all lies, spin, misinformation.

Go away.

Let's all vote anarchy.





Wait

Can you vote anarchy ??

Vote for a candidate that doesn't run ads? The less people supporting the two fail-parties the better, after all.

If all else fails, vote Communist.

That's the nice thing about living in a non-swing state. It's like there's not even a presidential campaign going on right now.

Oh Mike Gravel, where have you gone? That guy was awesome and he'd have a place in the cabinet of any President Mookie administration.

I'm lucky, I rarely watch TV 'live' so I can just flick through the ads, but mostly I watch the BBC, no ads.

Doesn't really help you though. I'd hate to be in your position.

I don't watch any TV at all anymore. If a friend recommends a show I find it online. If I really like it I'll buy it on DVD. On the other hand Amazon Prime lets me watch a lot of shows for a flat $79 per year. Newer stuff? Well, I've paid extra to watch a few shows I really like, but no commercials at all, ever.

Anything what's on a channel with adverts (apart from live sport) I sky+ it and fast forward the adverts.
