Funny, Stupid, and Banned Commercials........but not in the USA

     I don't know about you, but I rarely watch a commercial.  I DVR almost everything I might want to watch for basically that reason.  Commercials here in America are for the most part Dumb, Boring, Insulting, and seem to be on the screen more often than the program I am watching.  But thanks to the modern day electronic marvels, I really don't have to watch them anymore.  In fact, I have mastered the art of fast forwarding the remote so that it comes to a stop the same time as the commercial.  (Well, maybe not every time, but I am getting better. ) 
      I have realized that when a clip for the local news is on , the regular program is coming up next. Actually, I think that is the only sure thing to look for.  Commercials used to be a great time to go to the bathroom, get a snack, or make a quick phone call.  The Pause button has certainly put an end to all of that.  I'm also convinced that I am not the only person doing this.  After all, who wants to see these stupid commercials ???????  But guess what ?????  Commercials are not for TV only anymore.  Take a look at your smart phone.  There are ads for almost everything whenever your using a free app.  Look at sports events, sports figures, aircraft, bench's, garbage cans, cabs, trains, almost anything, anywhere and you will see some sort of an ad.  Obviously , those industries realize the demise of advertising solely on TV.  They are getting smarter however.  Try watching something On Demand and it's impossible to fast forward the commercial.  Been on You Tube lately ??? same thing there.........It's like a game of cat and mouse........
     But I believe this can change as soon as the American people see what is happening all over the rest of the world........That's right............Make some commercials that we want to see, instead of the shit we are forced to see......The video above is a riot and really.......................If a picture is worth a thousand words................Well...................I would never FF any of those commercials above.  Have fun watching..........
