It's three, three, three commercials in one!

I was curious to watch a clip from the ABC News special interviewing Leah Remini on her new book Troublemaker, in which she details why she left the Church of Scientology and how she feels about Tom Cruise. But before I could see this clip I had to watch a commercial for IHOP. Hmmm. Now why do I have to watch a commercial for IHOP when this Leah Remini clip is itself a commercial for ABC News in which Leah Remini is promoting her book Troublemaker, another commercial message?  This is a perfect example of how the American public are sheep when it comes to being forced to watch far more commercials than necessary to make a good profit. The advertisers want to make a killing, and they know consumers are complete suckers.
