Commercialism

Today i sat and watched T.V for the first time in a year, and you know what, i now know why i stoped watching it. The comercials drive me nuts. I mean all they are there for is to make you buy something. Its like you never thought you needed a new BBQ till you saw a new one on some stupid commercial. And What is the deal with them trying to be funny any way? Do they think that most of America is in need of cheering up, that we are in such in a great need of a great laugh? Or is it another marketing scheme in order to remeber their product? I think i might read this book called "Amusing Ourselves to Death" just to see what the hell is going on. What can i say i HATE T.V, and
I HATE COMMERICALISM!!
