I can screen phone calls and block the unwanted. I can screen emails and either delete them or move to my KA-KA folder. I can peek out my window and avoid Jehovah Witness visitors. Why can't I have a process to block political TV ads? I would rather it play the old Oscar Mayer commercial with the cute little kid singing the jingle. Not sure I can survive these ads from now until November.
When any commercial comes on I always hit the 'mute' button on the remote. Of course if the program has been taped then I just 'fast forward' through the commercial. Commercials used to be informative with facts. Now they are sophomoric in language and graphics.
