"Working from home" so watching more live tv, a question occurs to me:

Did Liberty Mutual insurance find a money mine or have those emu commercials always been on every 8 minutes? I gotta go back to DVRing the news.

They try to be funny like with their jingles (e.g., "Liberty, Liberty, Li---ber---ty" or "We are Farmers, pomp a dump um pomp pomp pomp&quot . I'm not sure when the trend started catching on for funny insurance commercials.

The only one I find remotely funny are Geico's.

for all the paid ad time lost because of all the debates, town halls, etc., that are broadcast during the election.

Show more of you! How about less Otezla? Screw you!

I used to like to leave CNN on in the background, but now have to flip it off due to the drug commercials.

The SATV/cable companies should do us a solid and provide a commercial-free not-for-profit 24 hour news channel.
