I generally don't watch commercials any more, I fast forward through them. But the other day I was busy doing something else and the commercials played on. One after the other after another. The side effects are sickening. Some of them even warned of 'death' in certain circumstances. When is it going to stop? It is ridiculous. Talk about Pushers. sheesh.
