Commercial Free

Ugh! I hate commercial free programming. From a generation of children raised on TV, among other things, I have a short attention span. It is simply too much to watch programs or movies straight through. Whether watching TVO, or one of those movie channels my satellite package charges me too much for, after 20 or 25 minutes I'm itching to move. Grab a snack, wash some dishes, or take an opportune moment to relieve myself. And really, without commercials how am I supposed to know what I want, apart from product placement. I can't wait for the next hilarious Dairy Queen commercial, or Zellers' feast of the senses (well, maybe only for two), or the chance to ridicule the efforts of some major corporation. I suppose living in an isolated locale, devoid of the bombardment of other forms of advertising, I need that hit television can so readily provide. So give me a commercial break. I could use a, what's that? A Pillsbury Pizza Pocket. Why, I have some in the freezer, and they take just 2 minutes to make.
