I am really tired of those adds that have “real people not actors”. I hit the mute button.

We TIVO almost all of our viewing and FF through the ads. They're ALL annoying and for the most part don't influence us. I too dread the next 18 mo. or so with the political ads we'll be hit with. They do NOT influence us in any way---mostly they annoy us. For the same reason we don't watch most of the news (we get our news from other venues).

The only ads I watch are when there are funny/cute animals like at the super bowl. Ads in general irritate me, I avoid whatever they are advertising.

The worst -- the absolute worst -- are the medical ones for prescription RXs and their disclaimers win the prize!

Do people really believe those ads and then ask their doctor about them?
