"Baaaaaaa."

It seems that whatever I wanted to check out on HuffPost today was preceded by a video for the new Tom Hanks' film Bridge of Spies. This was annoying enough. What made it worse was that no matter how many times I clicked the X, the video kept going until the end. One pays a high price for Internet service and cable TV to avoid commercials, but on both costly services commercials are more and more frequent and increasingly interruptive. I maintain that greedy providers like Comcast run far more commercials than necessary for them to make an excellent profit because they know that American consumers are sheep about commercials and hardly ever complain.
