TV Commercials

One of my biggest pet peeves are TV commercials. It's not only the fact that there are so many of them, but it's mainly the nature of them. First, more than half of all commercials are pharmeceuticals or lawyers. About half the lawyer commercials are about the harm pharmeceuticals have caused, the other half are about how bad the lawyer commercials are. From there it seems that all commercials have to be "off-color" or have some mean spirited "attitude". I guess the real sad indictment is that these reflect our society.
Every now and then there is a refreshing commercial that promotes more of what I feel our country and Madison Avenue should be about. This "Jif commercial" is more of the type we need.
