Seems like everything is coming back to haunt us. I've seen many commercials about lawsuits if you took certain drugs. Currently it's the mesh used in surgery to hoist prolapsed organs up.

I learned from that particular job to not ever take any medications for nail fungus if I wanted to keep my liver. (this is why I'm missing the index toenail on my left foot now. Gave up the nail before I would risk my liver)

On of the symptoms of fibro is noise intolerance. There is nothing wrong with my hearing, just can't stand the noise. Closed caption is always on my tv. It's great!

yep ... one of the reasons I decided AGAINST having cable/direct TV of any sort!! why pay $30 a month for commercials ... I think I broke my thumb changing channels ...
I do miss my FoodNetwork, HGTV ... and Discovery/History ... but, now I can get FULL episodes FREE online ... or DVDs from the library and have them for a week .. COMMERCIAL free!! haven't figured out what to do with the $30 I'm saving - OH ... duh!! paying for electricity to power my AC unit to keep cool as I'm melting!! LOL

The commercials actually are louder than the shows! I remember reading something in Time magazine or somewhere about people trying to get a law passed that commercials could would have a limit to how much louder they could be. So ridiculous. But it does get everyone's attention .

I find I watch less and less TV. #1 my vision is bad, and I cant sit thru a whole show. I use my DVR to record what I want, and I will pause it at the commercial line, rest my eyes, come back and zip thru the commercial.
I have Hulu, NetFlix and Vudu, so I can rent just about any movie I want here at home, without ever having to go to a sticky, loud, dark, blurry, over priced theater. Hulu or ONDEMAND will allow me to watch any show I want for Free from the TV show line up. I love being able to sit and watch my show when I am ready to watch it. There is something about the evening news coming on the TV that makes my phone ring everytime. Seems like that is the exact time everyone wants to call me. So I record the news and can watch the first ten minutes and then move on. Also putting a disc into the blu ray player is like magic. it can actually send out a signal to all of my friends and neighbors saying "i wonder what debbie is doing? lets call!" UGH! I am tired of pausing movies to answer the phone. Most times I let it go to voice mail.

I love the ones for Pampers.....that shows all the different little babies. There's soothing music, it's not loud and the babies they show are so cute. I never get tired of seeing that commercial.
One for a local furniture warehouse type store just came on and the man was shouting the entire time. Do these people think we can't hear? Or that we'll listen better if they yell at us? I don't.....I mute it or change the channel. You'd think they'd figure it out.
