Commercialism is really getting out of hand

Last night, while watching comedy central, I took the time to notice how many commercials were ran during the break. Six commercials like every 5-7 minutes. Then I started noticing that almost every commercial that was ran, was telling you to do something (buy this, lease now, call now) it averaged out to be somewhere near 75% of the commercial was telling you what to do. There aren't hardly any commercials left that are suttle or suggestive, which by the way is a better form of marketing in my opinion. It is an attempt to by pass our active minds and go staight to our subconcious thoughts. I think after noticing this I will be a little more perceptive as to what they are trying to accomplish.
