severe snippage of a bunch of valid posts

My wife and I are getting to the point of stating "no TV other than
PBS." I can't think of any evening show that hasn't made us cringe on
occasion while watching as a family.

We have gotten to the point that mt wife & I watch almost nothing that
doesn't get captured through TiVo first. Even relatively decent content is
often contaminated by inane, offensive commercials, often for material to
be broadcast on channels in which we have absolutely no interest.


Latest really-stupid commercial observed during the nightly news. Some
car commercial with a bunch of cars driving around with tails in the air
and only front tires on the ground. Background voiceover intones, "get a
car that uses all 4 wheels (or something to that effect)" as the car being
advertised goes zipping around all the cars driving on their front tires
only. Really, really, stupid CYA legalese pigeon-dropping: "professional
drivers on closed course" uh-huh.
