I've often said if I were ever elected president, (won't happen). The first thing I would do is outlaw commercials on tv. Then the most common response I get back is "that's how the make their money." I call b.s. Comcast currently has 22.3 million tv subscribers. If each of them pay an average of $100 per month that is $2,230,000,000 per month in gross revenue. How much does it cost to play old reruns over and over and over again.
Then consider advertisements cost $450,000 per minute and there are roughly 14 advertisements minutes per hour (25% of your viewing time per hour), per channel. Let's see that means there are 336 ad minutes per day times $450,000= $151,200,000 ad revenue per day..... per channel. I'm sick of being bombarded with ads and crappie programming. I'm ready to shoot the idiot box and find something to do outside.
Just think if everyone did that just think how much better the world would be...
More exercise
Less obesity
Less desensitized violence
More money in the bank
Less gluttonous materialism
As I always said the world would be a much better place to live if more people thought like me.
