10,000 commercials too many.

One of the things that most irritates me in the world doesn't seem to bother anyone else. At least I never hear anyone complain about it seriously, though it affects their lives and their time on a daily basis. It is the excessive number of commercials on television. I'm convinced their are are far, far more  commercials on every station than are needed for the network to make a profit. What they want to do is make a killing. And to do that, they don't care how much they inconvenience you. For one thing you're paying for cable. Originally that was supposed to be your guarantee of commercial-free TV, but, sorry sucker, you are now watching far more commercials than were ever shown in the days of free broadcasting. The network executives think they can just keep barraging you with more and more commercials and you won't say a word. And they're right. So while they're rolling in money, tons of money, you're sitting there watching another unnecessary string of commercials—and paying a huge cable bill— when you could be enjoying your favorite programs with far fewer interruptions if you just complained, which you won't do. So, I'll continue to mutter and try to avoid watching commercial network programming and spend more time with HBO or other premium channels, who, by the way, also run far more commercials for their damn programming than they should considering you pay extra for their supposedly commercial-free channels.
