Commercials on tv have gotten ridiculous [View all]
When it was the 70's you saw maybe 2 or 3 commercials during a show.
I was watching Nightline
to see the chop in Seattle and there was 10 commercials in one break.
At some point we will need to reign in advertisers. Because they'll interfere with things that need to be reported.
And the people pushing advertising have no self control.
The airwaves were built by tax dollars.They are not property of corporations even though they claim they built it and own it.
TV was once about the programs aired. Now ad revenue controls too much of the content and ads dominate the time slot allowed shows,even news.
Time to tell advertisers enough is enough. TV broadcasters must limit the amount of ads they air during programs because as shows get shorter and shorter less reporting is aired. Ads blanket the country and invade our homes. It's too invasive.
Fuck the greed. Time for capitalism to STFU.
Shows like The Veiw ,Good Morning America, and the Doctors are now putting ads as part of the regular content of programs. I don't know how many shows are doing this. These are the ones I know of that do this. As if tons of commercials in " breaks" are not enough ads.
It's gotten out of control.
It's been out of control.
