Why I Hate TV

Well there are too many reasons to list here but my number one reason, advertisements! They are offensive, they make you feel bad about yourself, and then tell you to make yourself feel better you need to buy their crap. So most of the time we watch shows off of DVDs where there are no commercials. As always commercials find a way into everything and now they are on DVDs too. Clorox ran two adds back to back on the Mad Men DVD, both instilled the resolve to never purchase Clorox in me. The one that really got me is below:
Yes it was on before Mad Men, so put in context it made sense. But really, you are trying to convince me to buy Clorox so my husband can cheat on me and then hide it? That is reason enough to never buy it! Maybe they are trying to appeal to men, but for some reason I don't think that is their main market.

This trend of distasteful ads seems to be catching on. Sprint ran an add earlier this year about a wife that found out that he was cheating on her from a text message on his phone... now would you buy that phone?
