Commercials Should Be Banned

I hate TV and Radio commercials that come on every 10 minutes or so. The same ones are repeated over and over - like someone wants to drill messages into our psyche (This applies to American "hit" radio also with the same song played many times throughout the day - but that is another story).

Oh, yes! the commercials also seem to have a much higher volume, especially the ones on television, than the shows you are watching at the time. I am glad remote controls have a mute button. now some tv commercials use subliminal advertising to get their message across. Another strategy is making the "spot" like a short attention span video from Sesame Street. The dumbing- down plan is in "full force".

Cable & Satellite tv channels used to be better regarding the number and frequency of advertisements. However, they have been "marred" by way too many commercials like the network stations.

I say ban all commercials, advertisements, and those god-awful paid programming "scams" on late-night tv from all television and radio media. Whoever does Not comply, would be shot. This might make the newspapers more relevant again, since advertisers would "flock" to them.
