I thought there was a regulation to prevent that at the FCC, yes?? At least there was supposed to be in the US.


This Is why I absolutely love having netflix instead of cable.

Ditto! And I got a Roku box for my birthday and LOVE it.
Other than looking at interesting stuff through YouTube, I haven't seen a television commercial in probably a decade.

f**k it. I'll take my ipod on constantly and just never take it off.

She just don't want you to wear earplugs. Maybe so you should socialise a little bit more with your parents.

Which would make sense if I wore earplugs. I don't, and she's actually said that I should.
