Commercials!

[Raw!]

My god how much I hate commercials. When something is at a cool moment or something really awesome is about to happen it goes to commercial. It feels like an hour. And it's such a pain. Who else feels this way?

i hate that so much:mad1:

i always think that it's gonna go to happens

american idol has so many commercial breaks;(

Yes commercials are very much hated by me, what's also hated by me is movies that mad edited. they should give you a choice to see the non-edited version.

[Raw!]

Agreed. But there is also a plus to them. Sometimes you see a product that is actually good and you want to buy it.

I have TiVO so 75% of the time I don't watch commercials, lol.
Only if I'm watching a show in real time.

I've never had that occur with me.

i dont watch tv enough to know what some of the new commercials are these days but i don't like them

they use commercials as a source of money, this is how they get paid, otherwise there is no point in having commercials so you can't blame the tv stations for this

and i agree with jak about the movies where they edit it big time to cut it down to like 2 hours, really annoying

[jakncoke]

I hate the language edit the most. I mean with todays society the kids have heard and done all the stuff they've seen on TV+ more so why not at least give us a choice, like why did ABC show American Pie, that was edited so much it's not even funny. they even edited " lets get laid"

lol they showed that on ABC? haha

yeah these can get annoying, but if these guys are gonna turn a 2 hr movie into a 1 hour movie by editing it so much, why bother putting it up anyway? your viewers won't know the whole story

[jakncoke]

I don't think they care about the viewer. All they want is the advertising income. Which in mainstream TV is a lot, like an 30 second spot on American Idol is like 450k or something like that. If I come across the figures again I'll post them.

That's why I like renting or going to the movies.

yeah, i think a 30 second ad anywhere in the superbowl costs a minimum $2.5 million - i may be wrong, i have to check it again

superbowl is the big commercial revenue earner and they have dozens of commercials running during the whole game - half time costs more i believe

[jakncoke]

2.7 is what I thought it was, march madness will have record costing 30 second spots, I'll go check my email to see the figure
