There are always commercials people don't like and I've seen a s-load of them over the years. For example the current ad where a giant spider is on an iphone or droid and the guy takes his shoe and pounds the c*** out of it with the heal of the shoe. My wife even thanks me when I catch it and mute the sound so we don't have to listen to it!

There are also some ads being that are being aired in NYS by the NYS Dept. of Health that I feel that you are lucky not to be subjected to it in TV. It's an ad to deter smoking, which in itself is an admirable goal, but it's the nature of what you see - the way it's presented that is in a lot of peoples opinion, quite disturbing!

The ads are not just disturbing to many viewers, but it also imposes itself upon those who have never smoked or have not smoked in years, and those people are needlessly subjected to it!

I personally feel disgusted and slightly nauseated every time I see one of them, and I don't get disgusted or nauseated that easily. Anyway here is one of those commercials and probably the least disturbing of them:
