Ohhhh how we can relate to your furor over the Dance ads. We also would mute during the ads and felt the same about the Toyota Orlando ad with the gal and the pup. Drove us crazy and I notice that TO seems to have shortened their ads and are not as intrusive. They gave up on the phone number sign the gal and the dog, thank goodness.
Good idea to cram the television channels with complaints. Those commercials drove us to recording most all of our fav shows so that we could fast forward thru the commercials.
Since we're not in TV during the summer, it does give us a break from all of that "crap." Upon our return, I'll definitely join in on contacting the channels with emails and phone calls complaining.
It really is a "catch 22" situation wherein the ads are revenue for the channels, yet they are driving peeps away with the overload of bad commercials. It seems that there's now more commercials than program viewing in most programs.
