I only rarely see them now. I don't have any of that DVR stuff (never 
thought it made sense to buy a device, as opposed to a service, on a 
subscription model), so not only do I get the increasingly irritating and 
patronizing commercials (I don't normally have a problem with commercials, 
just the irritating and patronizing ones, which are most of them these 
days), but I also get those ads that stations have injected *over-top* of 
the shows themselves as a backlash against DVRs (Which I don't even have! 
And I have to be punished anyway!) So I've just said "fuck them, and fuck 
playing fair, since they obviously aren't" and I only watch shows on library 
DVDs now, or if the libraries either don't have it or don't have it 
unscratched then downlaod (but not Hulu - fuck web browsers, fuck flash 
video, and fuck "TV on a PC"). So usually the only times I do see ads is 
when a roomate watches TV.
