Not just because it's more pleasant to so so, but because the cacophony of bull**** vomiting out from my TV during commercials - any commercial - makes me angry and almost ill.
It's the same with radio when I'm in my car. I refuse to listen to even one second of any add. It just pisses me off.
...Perhaps I need not some anger management training.
Commercials are more interesting than the average TV show they interrupt, imo. It's pretty easy to get tilted if you view yourself as the target audience of the ridiculousness. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that the commercial isn't there for your kind.
The ones where they take a product with quantifiable value and associate it with positive feeling or idea rather than talking the product's value are fascinating. Look at the love this one gets in the youtube comments.
