I find all commercials irritating and tiresome. Although the majority of the TV channels in the UK are commercial stations, we fortunately still have the good old BBC which is funded by the compulsory yearly television license fee.
You need a valid TV Licence if you watch or record any TV as it's being broadcast. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.
It costs £145.50 a year, but it means that at least on the BBC you can watch Dramas and Films without constant "messages from sponsors." Hurrah!:triumphant:

There 2 good things about the BBC - match of the day and top gear, they binned all of there good comedy, axed shooting stars to fund more drastic cooking and talent shows. The bbc is crap - if it weren't for those 2 shows and the half day BBC 3 channel, I wouldn't watch it. Oh and give me adverts over tv licence any day - that is a pile of scum and our government should be ashamed of themselves for it. My mum gets phone calls off them at 8am if she hasn't paid £7 a day or 2 after it's due. They're pathetic and will fine you £1000 if you can't pay it, and if you can't pay your fine, you will go to jail, yet if you hit someone with a car while pissed, you would probably get a driving ban and a suspended sentence.

Anyway off my soap box (sorry about that). You will go a long way to find a cooler advert than this:

Our family friend was here for Easter and then Memorial Day, and he thought this commercial about Sam in your pants was "awfully risque."


He says "These commercials are getting AWfully risque these days." Then quotes it: " 'Sam is small, but Sam can last forEVer.' Then: 'I wish had Sam in MY pants.'
For a minute, I thought I was back in downtown Saigon."

He's hysterical.
