Does anyone else get irritated each time the ad for Google-mail plays on TV with

the simple-minded screeching of "I WANT SECURITY! OH, YEAH!"?

Maybe it's just me, but it drives me nuts. Of course, hearing it every 5 minutes does not help.

But mostly I just rarely watch anything on regular TV except football on Sundays, using my digital antenna (I cut the cord 3+ years ago).

When I had cable though I had a DVR included and set everything up I cared about to record in advance, and then just watched them on time delay so I could fast forward the commercials.

Freaking hate them. I liked the young people in the horror movie one though with the chainsaws and such. That one was funny ... the first 50 times, I mean
