How annoying can television be?

Hasn't anybody recently noticed how annoying television can be? 

There are certain shows that I have come to like over the years, but it's the commercials that really drag the channels down.  Why doesn't the government impliment a TV license?  Where each household pays, say $100 a year and then we can get rid of these annoying tv commercials -- only allowing the important tv commercials to hit home, ie; crackdown on drink driving, helping the Katrina victims etc. 

Who wants to see an old man saying, "JG Wentworth" & "Cash Now" -- his monotonous tone drives me insane!!!  Then there's the vehicle ads, jeez!  Employee pricing -- yeah right!!!  Don't you believe it -- they hike up the retail price of the vehicle and then offer all the discounts -- hey presto, you think you're getting a bargain!  In actual fact, you're paying what you were originally going to pay for the vehicle anyway -- it's a gimmick!!!  Get them in; sell a vehicle; get them out; make money -- waahey!!! 

The list goes on and on. 

I got to hand it to them -- PBS has it spot on.  Television shows without commercial interuption.  Therefore, they don't need to be told be the bigwigs of sponsoring companies when to show their 'crappy' commercials, because most of PBS's money is pledged through their viewers. 

I dare the likes of Fox Broadcasting to come up with a commercial free tv channel.  We already pay enough for tv nowadays, but what we pay for is, in reality -- crap!!!  Although, I am willing to pay a little extra to not have crappy commercials on the 'box'. 

Let me put it this way.  Crappy television commercials are like me getting SPAM in my email inbox, with only one difference; you can block/delete SPAM!!!

Any thoughts anybody???

Hitting the $3.00 mark, (rising gas prices!)

"The rich get richer and your average Jo(e) gets f*cked up the arse by these 'fat' cats!!!"



To add further insult -- my local gas station jumped from yesterdays $2.79 a gallon to $2.99 a gallon for gasolene.  Gas rose a whopping 44 cents in less than 30 hours -- that is so ridiculous!!!  

I understand this is reverberation from Hurricane Katrina, but why do these big corporations have to be so greedy???  

Come on Mr Bush do something about this, before it's too late -- make a nation adore you again!  This is your perfect opportunity.  

Why is it that your everyday man/woman has to be the one that gets screwed?  

Once everyday living costs rise -- then people are going to have to choose between putting gas in their cars or food on their tables.  

Now, there are people out there that have so much money that they don't know what to do with it -- you know you can always share your wealth!  

Addition to this entry:

Not even 48 hours have passed and my local gas station is now charging $3.19 a gallon for gasolene -- I am so f*cking annoyed by this!  That's a 64 cent increase in 36 hours -- now these gas stations are getting out of control, and my car is going to go dry because I refuse to pay these high prices. 

I predict that gasolene will be $4.00 a gallon early next week, and President Bush still does f*ck all about it!!!  All he cares about is the 'back handers' he's getting from the big oil corporations.  Thanks Mr Bush!  Thanks very much! 

*Vote Democrats Next Election!* 

Time to call upon the State representatives to put a 'cap' on this ridiculous price gouging by these money grabbing corporations -- I am not going to take anymore of this sh*t!!!  Get writing people -- let's make a stand!
