    I'm offended by any commercial that is blatantly obvious in its misrepresentation of results.

    Yes, offended. To be so blatant about lying to consumers and think we are all so stupid that we will 'buy' their BS is offensive to me. You don't have a problem with the blatant attempt by others to deceive you?

    You should have had an ALL of the above option because I NEVER watch adverts. I cut the cable a couple of years ago and I avoid advertising as much as possible.

    Occasionally I can be tempted to watch the "Top 10" but even that is a sad commentary on the fact that out of ALL of the worldwide advertising for an entire year they can barely scrape together a measly 10 that have any merit whatsoever.

    Thank goodness for Netflix and Hulu (worth the money to upgrade for no commercials) rarely even watch regular TV anymore, as some of you stated.

    I really hate the pharmaceutical ads! As I have VERY strong beliefs on the pharmaceutical industry and the medicine meant to "cure" is actually causing more harm therefore needing another pill...etc..

    When I hear the side effects list, my God! Hey that leg cramp will be gone, but you may get mouth sores, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, thoughts of suicide, rapid heartbeat, migraines, joint pain, kidney problems, and in rare cases DEATH but start living your best life free of leg cramps. *Flash to elderly couple laughing at nothing while jogging in matching track suits*

    Mikey's got fifty BILLION bucks to burn, if he wants to. And, after all, somebody had to come forth and take over once it became clear that Joe Biden's corrupt dealings in Ukraine were so blatheringly obvious that he' 'shot himself in BOTH feet'. Nobody but a clot of welfare-sucking slackers would vote for Biden now -- and they're out there. But most 'rational Middle-Class' voters will want a candidate who actually knows WHAT an "economy" is, plus, has actual experience in running a large government bureaucracy - AND - a successful business....

    After the Democrats have milked the 'impeachment' hooptie for everything they can get out of it, ol' Joe will go by the wayside, and then you'll see the rapid ascendancy of Mikey Bloomberg. Wait and see! Fifty billion bucks can talk LOUD and LONG....

    If that be true then why did Trump get elected? He has zero experience running a large govt. bureaucracy.

    They play lullaby music while all that is going on to try to stop brains from thinking.

    Drugs are bad. You should take drugs very rarely. You do not know what will happen to you when you take a drug. Especially don't let psychologists and psychiatrists recommend drugs for your kids.

    Pretty much any commercial, other than the Budweiser Clydesdales.

    The pharmaceuticals are a pet peeve. If someone has a condition, and the doctor is worth anything at all, the doc will have a couple recommendations for what will help you. If they quit spending the millions on advertising and applied that money to reduce the cost of the medications, perhaps people might actually be able to afford them.

    I go to a doctor, there are magazines, and I can understand advertising in a medical condition specific publication, where I can bypass it if I want, or read more. TV (and just about any website these days) force feeds it. I have a quick gag reaction.

    I wasn't 'cheerleading' for Trump, Moonie... I was only pointing out what may be an attractive aspect to Mikey Bloomberg.

    Admittedly, being the mayor of New York City may not be quite the same thing as running a major-league nation, but NYC is not exactly a 'piddle-on-a-diddle-on-a-bedbug's-ass, either.... :lol:

    Plus, even though Mikey has gotten a reputation as being against the Second Amendment right of Americans to defend themselves with firearms, and he tends to get involved in outright SILLY sh*t, like the big 'soft-drink' imbroglio, and similarly invasive idiocies -- the man does understand what an "economy" is (when contrasted with the other Democrat candidates), and, he has actually run a big-time, LARGE business.

    I doubt that I would ever vote for Bloomberg, but to serious Democrats he's a logical replacement for a corrupt, disgraced, politically-useless commodity like Joe Biden has become in the last six months....

    I cut the cable and sometimes stream a movie or documentary, the main reason I cut the cord was:
    1. Cost
    2. Commercials
    3. Redundancy of shows on TV
    4. Waste of time.
