TV COMMERCIALS

I hate commercials.  I realize they have to be there between TV show segments and before movies because advertisers and the money they give are a big part of the Hollywood process, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.  They have commercials for everything now!  Just this morning while watching the news while I drank a cup of coffee and ate some cereal I saw a commercial for a Chicago Laser Skin Resurfacing Clinic.  Why does a Chicago Laser Skin Resurfacing need a commercial?  Do random people drop in for skin resurfacing?  I thought that was sort of procedure was only given to people when another doctor referred them to the clinic because they actually needed it.  and I absolutely love the commercials they have trying to get people to come visit different states.  Does anyone actually think that a commercial will just make someone want to go to North Dakota?  It can get even worse, especially when you’re at the movies.  When I went to the theater to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, they actually played a commercial for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End before the trailers.  What?  Were they afraid that the people sitting there already having a paid a ticket to see the show needed to make up their minds?
