TV Rant!

We were sitting watching Downton Abbey on Sunday evening (yes, we bears love a good historical drama), when two things began to irritate us - firstly, the number of ad breaks during the program and secondly, the number of adverts that use crap music to sell their even crappier products!

Ok, so follow my logic here - if you watched TV for 24 hours a day, you would be subjected to hours and hours of the same piece of music.  And everyone considers this to be ok (showing the adverts, not watching TV 24/7, that is)!  But if you put someone in prison and played the same music over and over to them, it would be called torture!  And torture it is - if I hear one more rendition of "Go Compare", "Confused.com" or hear building society staff trying to sing some awful tune, I will throw one of Tony's boots at the TV and write to my MP to say this is contravening my bear-rights!  Oh, and I'm not going to purchase any products from companies who make these shit adverts!
