We have been hijacked by TV commercials!  Do you feel that these days a half hour show is now only 14 minutes of content and 16 minutes of adverts?

The adverts have become so invasive it makes one believe that corporate greed is alive and well and living in TV-land.  Which brings me to wonder whether directors and producers of shows are told to have only the 14 minute content and make sure that the plot fits in to the time allotted.

Which brings me also to my next pet peeve.  Medical advertising!  It makes no sense to me to advertise a drug that can only be obtained with a prescription by a doctor.  Nobody goes to the pharmacy and asks "Give me 30 Lipitor.  I think I'll try those today".

Nobody goes to their doctor and says "Give me some of those blah-blah pills that are advertised".  Never mind that most the pills today can kill you!

I think that flighting ads for Cialis and Viagra during prime time TV or sports programs is so inappropriate.  I don't want to have to tell my kids about the advantages of taking those pills.  The amount of sexual content in shows does nothing to the quality of the show.  An example of the worst show is Two and a Half Men.  Again, the time slot is totally inappropriate.  It should be a midnight show like the German porn shows!  Two Broke Girls started off so great, but has dipped into crude and stupid now.  My opinion!!

Hey, I love TV.  I have no problem with sexual content.  But when it knocks you over the head when kids are watching......  it's a problem for me.  How about you?
