The politician who regulates
The politician who regulates TV ads will win my vote. Put the ads in an eight minute block before the 22 minute show. I think the fight over our attention to products should subside during the program. Of course the TV industry is one of the most powerful lobby groups so this may never happen.
TV is becoming the ‘old mall’ no one goes to anymore, and is getting seedier and bare. Even though a few shows are good, most are flea market grade.
My favorite show is street cents. No ads.
