Commercials

Commercials, ads, advertising, do you realize how we are inundated with them, everywhere we look, everywhere we go, everything we do, ads, advertising, commercials.

Go to You Tube, find a song you want to hear, commercial first, Facebook, now ads on the side. On TV, anything you watch is inundated with commercials. The only shows which do not have a lot of commercials, are InfoMercials, which are commercials themselves, but they are not interrupted by commercials.

I am a channel hopper, and there are instances that I can go through out entire list of programs, and hit commercials on almost every one. I watch a game, there comes a commercial, I go to another channel, commercial, etc., etc., etc.

Do we remember them. Bob hope did Pepsodent, Godfrey, Lipton tea and Bufferin. Other names bring back products they advertised. We are sheep, being led, by advertising, probably the largest industry in the country, maybe the world, and now, with the Internet, methods we never dreamed of will be utilized.

Those toothache drops would be a big seller today!
