I notice other deodorant companies are jumping on the bandwagon with their own "whole-body" versions. I shower daily & use the under-arm stuff. So far no complaints so I'm good.

Someone suggested the government do something about all the commercials. That won't happen. What's happening is the broadcasters need more money. Their executive pay is skyrocketing while revenue is shrinking. Broadcast TV is going downhill what with all the cable/streaming services so they put in more ads to get more money. They don't think about lowering expenses!. Soon broadcast TV will have the same problems that newspapers are facing - possible extinction. For us, we use the recorder with the Dish system and then fast-forward the commercials. I refuse to watch commercials anymore.

I'm not outraged by it. The first time that I saw it I said to myself, do I really need to see this?
I understand your opinion.

It does seem like they are increasing the number of commercial minutes per hour. There needs to be a law or FTC rule.
I was a TV broadcast engineer for nearly 20 years back in the late 70's and 80's. Back then a long break was 2 minutes and they generally came as a lead in, a mid break, and then and final break. Anyway, total time was generally 6 minutes per half hour. Now a single break can and often does last that long! It now takes 3 hours to watch a 2 hour movie with commercials and it just keeps getting worse with no end in sight. While we too try to record programs and then fast forward through the ads, one can wear out their button pusher doing so!

Broadcast tv needs to stop cancelling good, engaging shows. Reality tv & game shows don't do it for most of us. I know, they're cheaper to produce but the audience isn't going to hang around.

Recall the 1950's when the TV remotes first began to appear. We heard at the time the advertisers were aghast. Even they couldn't stop progress.

I'll confess to watching Fox News. Between the 3rd and 4th segment of Bret Bier's show, there's about a 5 minute session of ads. Does any company think folks are going to stay in touch with that much junk blasting at them?

I feel for the gal that does the commercials (ten times a day)! I hope they pay her nicely, because she will always be known (forever), as the Lumme Lady with the smelly arm pits and butt checks!

Not quite the same as "Don't Squeeze the Charmin" or the Lonely Maytag Repairman.

That does not, however, explain shows like ‘The Price is Right’ or similar BS nonsense . . . .
