Since you bring up the subject, most all commercials are now so repulsive, and depraved, that I mute them out.

Now? They have ALWAYS been that way; in fact this is one of my major pet peeves and why I love the TV mute button; any 'advertising executive' or 'marketing consultant' who believes that I or people like me buy ANYTHING based on a tasteless commercial should have their head examined! In fact, for me and, I suspect, many others like me, it works the other way around...I avoid like the plague whenever possible products and services where the electronic advertising offends me. Freepers, how widespread is this? Is it only conservatives who do this? Is there any research on this? Thanks for your help!

I mute too, because the commercials are so loud. Seems they hit a point of diminishing returns, when they’re so loud they just get muted.
