I got directed to the Indianapolis Star News paper online edition yesterday for some reason. I thought the Evansville Courier and Press online edition had a lot of commercials and pop up's. Man I had to watch three commercials before I could read the article that I wanted to read. That S*********************** too.

The internet has more and more commercials every day. One day you will have to read three pages of commercials for ever paragraph of text that you want to read.

Yea TV is bad. We pay over 100 dollars a month to get cable TV and internet and have the time I'm watching a dam commercial instead of the program I want to watch.

Do the owners really believe that we will buy stuff simply because a commercial of theirs annoyed us and kept us from watching the program we really wanted to see. That won't work on me. If I see a commercial pop up on the screen which keeps me from seeing what I want to see I take notes. My notes tell me to avoid that business at all costs. So the commercial is not attracting me to their business, it's repelling me from their business.

One of the major car dealers in Evansville runs so many commercials that are so corny that I would never do any business with them. What I do is go there and act like I'm going to buy a car and make the guy in the commercials wait on my for as long as possible before I tell them that I'm going over to Henderson, KY and Owensboro, KY to look at their cars. This dealership stole the "What's in your Wallet' saying from one of the credit card companies and uses the "What's in your driveway" saying in all their commercials. That saying insults people more than entices them to buy their cars. But they are too arrogant to figure that out.

I seldom watch commercial TV, the news at 5:30 pm, and then I swich to either net flix, or amazon prime. I even watch the expensive hulu option.When all that fails, books. Last night [or this morning] I readtill almost 0300. Much of my time is spent playing games on POGO, which I pay for. Go to any news outlet on the computer, and there they are pop up commercials.Were even getting them on this site.
