Anyone else who can't stomach Christmas commercials?

[lvpets2002]

I always dread the commercials & the songs on the radio.. It can get as bad as hearing election campains..

I just went to a store and they already had christmas songs playing... really annoying.. haha.. I do like the season.. the gifts are a plus.. but what they make of it.. blah...

Some can be obnoxious, but even then, I'd much rather hear them, than the ads for erectile dysfunction (and the possible side effects). And in prime time no less. I feel sorry for the parents with children who see these commercials, and then the kids want an explanation.

*cough* At the risk to starting a big rammy - this is a good reason to have a National Health Service - you don't get health products advertised. OK, I'll go now.

This would be one of the many reasons I record all shows and watch them later so I can skip commercials. And if I do happen to watch live TV I usually get up and do something during commercials.
And on the radio when a commercial comes on that annoys me (like this annoying tooth fairy one for a local wireless phone company) I will switch to my CD for a minute.

I just put my holiday CD in my car. Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I rocked all the way to work.

I think I'll just sit back and see who pounces first...........

LOLOLOLOL,

There was a commercial that used to tout the 'measure of love' for your woman.

Was it DeBeers, the diamond company?

A man should spend 6 months of his salary for an engagement ring.

I was given this nugget of wisdom years ago-

What are you going to do with a diamond when you need a meal? Water and Power payment? Rent?

Side track? The people who are telling you to buy gold in this business climate.

At least you can cut small pieces and eat that, It will sate your hunger and you can recycle them!

-----------------

The commercials I love are the ones with the little snippets of the proposals on the ski slopes or in some far off locale.

Should the marriage fail? You'll never go skiing or to see the Eiffel Tower again, without thinking of the godless heathen your were with then.

I had a coworker who was married on Halloween. It was a costume wedding - a nice thought, she later lost her husband to cancer, so I wonder how that affected her life afterwards!

There is way too much emphasis on buying a stone for someone you love, and way to much emphasis on what women expect to get.

Diamonique! Big bling - little money.

I love the fact that we DVR shows we like to watch, so can do a 30-second skip right over the commercials, so I don't need to see them. Makes life much more pleasant.

OMG!!.. awesome!!.. I so wanna get a CD of their music...

[sparks19]

I actually like christmas commercials for the most part... but I like christmas everything lol. BUT I DO HATE jewelry store commercials ALWAYS. What is that quote "I bet more kisses start with miller lite than with Kay" haha. It's like "here if you want your wife to love you you better spend the better part of a downpayment on a house on a big ugly ring instead. she'll LOVE that. it's ok if you have to live in your parents basement for another few years. at least she will have something sparkly" lol

I don't know how we lived before we had DVR. Now it's like if we watch a show in real time it's TORTURE having to sit through the commercials
