i dont understand commercials. has anyone ever seen an advertisement and actually been compelled to invest money in that product? most of the time, theyre just a nuisance. especially when im trying to watch programming. i rarely pay attention to them, out of principle. it makes me wonder, because i know im not alone in this mentality, why these big corporations spend so much time and money in the first place.

i was actually watching the office today, on the internet. an advert popped up. a smooth-talking voice-over calmly reassuring me that my program is brought to me with limited commercial interruption. i like how they had to qualify that statement. first off, limited. its not maximum commercial interruption. its limited. why, apparently is a good thing. otherwise, they wouldnt specify. tbd
