Another gripe with commercials, advertisements, sports, etc.

The advertising today is as bad on the internet as it is on television. With all the commercials that are on television and the advertisements that are on the internet, it seems that not using either are more and more eminent.

On the television, we have sports channels, and infomercial channels, both of which have been created and designated for the two categories. So why is the advertising and sports on television ruining the shows that we’re intending to watch?

When I turn on the television to watch the 5 o’clock news, I want to watch the 5 o’clock news, and not a game. This is why there are sports channels, put the games on those channels. Who wants to see commercials about erectile dysfunctional issues? I don’t. If I had a problem getting one, I would go see the doctor. Otherwise, deal with it, the reason why you’re having it is because you have a problem.

This type of advertising is a waste of air-waves, when it could be used for AMBER ALERTS or something more important. If you cannot sleep, go see your doctor, it don’t need to be advertised on television. After all, you have your own channels to advertise on. As I said about the 5 o’clock news, the same goes for when I want to watch C.S.I, or another show, I could care less about otherwise, if I wanted to watch sports, I would turn on the sports channel, the same with politics, the same for buying a grill that can cut down 99.9% fats; which by the way, none of them work.

And I will tell you why none of them work. Because if one actually did work, there would only be that one, and none others. Although, some do come quite close, but still. Take a look at Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and oh my God, I do not believe I am going to bring his name up, Richard Simons, among a few to start with. You know why all three exist? None of them worked! I’ve known so many to have been on them, and hardly lost anything, except money out of their wallets and purses.

The only time a show should be interrupted, if any time, is by either the President, an AMBER ALERT or a WEATHER WARNING, otherwise the shows should continue. And if you think about it, what happened to the expression, “The show must go on.” Now here is an idea, instead of putting “paid programming” which I and many others don’t pay for, and could care less for, on in the morning, put them on their so-called designated channels, and put reruns of shows from the day-time, so night-owls have something more interesting to do, instead of going nuts.

It’s bad enough that they took off two of my favorite shows, CHARMED and THIRD WATCH; and now I know those two shows were very popular, and everyone was screwed on them. CHARMED should of, could have, and you’d think it would have kept going, but nope. THIRD WATCH, that one had a better chance of going, but that one got shafted, and left everyone hanging. Kind of like the SOPRANOS, now that was a waste of an ending. What was the guy thinking leaving the show hang like that? Now the stools and all where the guys sat on, hung out, the dance poles, etc., being auctioned off. I guess the show is done, without a “restart” if one existed. And going from HBO to A&E, and A&E plastering it like it was a “new” thing, yeah, right! Another favorite show of mine that was on HBO was Oz, and that one got ripped off, and I don’t remember them ever saying it was over. Talk about a rip off. HBO, supposedly Home Box Office, should change their name to something else more fitting. It seems they’re dumping all of their good shows and putting ones worse on the air. Granted, not all of the new ones are bad, but not many good ones.

If I had the time to sit here and complain about the sports over taking “regular scheduled” programming, I would sit here and right out who would win, loose, and win the super bowl, the Stanley cup, etc., but I can tell you the future of the future; all will loose, one will win the prize. OK, now put the sports on the sports channel and stop screwing with our shows. Think about it, would you rather see what the weather will be in the winter (e.g. slick and slippery roads on your way to work, or who crashed in NASCAR, who hit the grand slam, or scored a 97 yard touch down?) I prefer the weather, because it’s my life, and perhaps the life of others!

As far as the erectile dysfunctional issues, menopause, birth control, etc., everyone and their unborn knows about this already and have they don’t, this is why doctors and hospitals exist. You have your own channels, spam the hell out of those channels and leave us to our regular scheduled programming that we once had. Give us our channels back!

FCC (Federal Communications Commission,) must be working on Commission, and not getting paid enough? No offense, but what happened to regulation on these commercials, and advertisements? And it’s just as bad with the internet; except with the internet, people’s computers are being damaged, harmed, infected, etc., by viruses, spyware, etc. And the last time I looked, it’s illegal to install something without the consent of the user, and to “spy” on someone is illegal unless ordered by court; well with what the President signed recently, who knows who can spy on who anymore.
