Not necessarily creeped out, but I DO find it in extremely poor taste...At least Vince has been temporarily silenced-Ain't seen his ugly mug for awhile. Now if we can get rid of Flo & that cutesy-wootsey feckin' Lizard....

Sounds like I'm missing out on so much fun by not turning on the TV. Most of my radio listening is also NPR. I have become so accustomed to not being exposed to commercials, that their aggravation factor quickly cures me of the temptation to pick the TV habit up again.

Regards,

D-Ray

Another thing about commercials anymore is that men are seemingly virtually ALWAYS portrayed as clueless, idiotic dolts or buffoons...And it takes a Wise 'n' Wunnerful Woman to show 'em how to do it, 'cause w/o Wise 'n' Wunnerful Women looking out for us, we'd barely have enuff sense to get to the bathroom...Just another example of the "Wussification" of America...
