Is it because they can keep one in the present?

I know I'd get lost in a nostalgia trip if i didn't have commercial messages to remind me that it's September 2015.

Who watches commercials? I use adblock for net and devices to record tv so I can fast forward.
I find most commercials irritating and a few beyond irritating. Used to watch the news live. Now I record it and wait 15 minutes so I can watch and wacka-mo commercials.

No I don't. I end up free from shit I do not want to view. Time trade off is nice as a trade off.

For me they are, at best, dull wastes of time. At worst they are annoyances. On my mobile, where I cannot block the ads, I am often subjected to ads hijacking the whole screen.
Although sometimes there are genuinely fantastic ones on TV, like the Crushsa cats advert or the advert where a man gets a cold and his symptoms are represented by four attacking armies with guns and artillery.. Then he just squints at them and takes a pill or something and the armies all retreat while he does this wimpy, limp kick at them. It's grate.

I've been a huge fan of infomercials for as long as I could remember. I often watch Billy Mays, Vince Offer, and Anthony Sullivan videos... even to this day.Anonymous H joined in and replied with this 11 years ago, 3 hours later, 1 day after the original post[^] [v] #598,651
