Certain #podcasts seem to go out of their way to sneak #commercials in at places that are hard to automatically skip. I think they're spending more energy trying to get me to listen to #ads than I have interest in hearing an NPR news roundup each morning. I'm a prolific unsubscriber. And no, I will not donate to public radio supported by advertisements.
Why is EVERY OTHER commercial is about some version of the bachelor?
Paradise, Geriatric…
Do you get the idea that for some adverts they hire an actor then tell them:
We don't have a script so just say stuff to convey the core message.
And the actor goes: How's that?
And then they say: Well, we don't have a director either so ... just keep saying shit until we've got enough footage.
?
Anyone know how to get smart #TVs to mute instead of increase the volume during #commercials?

#Google has #YouTube. And Google #Search. And Google #Docs. And Google #Meet. And #Gmail. And about a thousand other sites and services.
If not using a Google-endorsed #browser means #losing #access to all of that, most people are not going to be able to make that choice. They're going to have to use #Chrome, and they'll have to put up with it shoving "#interstitial ads" (aka all-encompassing #TV #commercials in the middle of your attempt to use the service) and a million other ads.

#Commercials are bad enough, but the #movie tie-in commercials make me extra rage-y. Ugh.
Bones in sunlight, whiter than American teeth.
(Just like the commercials)
Rotting flesh, sweeter than poisonous chocolate.
(Just like the commercials)
The ever-present lure of wealth, sex and perfection.
(Just like the commercials)
A simple dream of a simple life - ruined.

I would never get an oil change at Take 5 oil change because their commercials are too stupid for words.
Who pours hot coffee on themselves, or drives through their own garage door?
Dumbass shit.

#NikkiHaley's "A Simpler Time" pitch is a direct descendant of #RonaldReagan's "It's Morning Again in America" spot in 1984 when he was asking for another term.
#Mondale didn't stand a chance against this #MadisonAve #propaganda by #HalRiney & Partners, the shop responsible for the fake-Americana Bartles & Jaymes #commercials the next year.
"America" viewed though a lens smeared with Vaseline was a meme.

Here’s a #petpeeve Those #commercials with #tomselleck hawking those damn #reverse #mortgages. They are NOT “loans like any other.” With a regular mortgage, you pay every month, the balance goes down, and so does the #interest accrual. If you don’t pay down your reverse mortgage (which many, if not most borrowers do not), the interest just keeps running. The balance gets so high there is no alternative but to sell the house in the end to repay it. #personalfinance #beware #aag
