If you’ve had the experience of watching television with me for any length of time at all, then you know that I cannot abide commercials.  Nine times out of ten, I will mute the commercial!  Usually I leave the room for a cup of hot tea or a Sierra Mist or a glass of water – anything just to get away from the commercials.  I am of the opinion that the marketing and advertising professionals today seriously think that we are all stupid or dumb as a post.  Most of the commercials on air today are mindless and annoying.  Some of the commercials actually border on offensive.  The ones that are “supposed” to be funny are usually just annoying.  For example, the Sears commercial that features a young male and female blogger who are trying desperately to get a flight out.  In the midst of a blizzard, they must spend the weekend snowed in at O’Hare or some other airport.  It’s actually just beginning to get interesting when the young lovers fall head over heels over a Sears washer and dryer!  (I mean literally tumbling head first over said washer & dryer!)  Oh, please!

Okay, having said all that, I actually must give kudos to the Frito-Lay Corporation.  They have a commercial for Tostitos Cantina Chips which actually makes me laugh.  I don’t mute it.  That says a lot.

Oh, and the chips are delicious!
