Is there anyone but me who sees or hears certain commercials and turns the channel or station?

I have two cringe-worthy ones,

One is the Sabra Humus one where they have awful people singing the REO Speedwagon Keep on loving You song.

And the other is the GEICO commercial where flow is singing about an invisible friend names Mary Joe.

There are definitely others, but these ones are on the radio constantly and are annoying.

Commercials? I don't watch TV anymore, I watch shows online so I get 0 commercials. I rarely listen to the radio either, I tend to stream music from my phone in the car. Adblock when on youtube and twitch.tv.... I've come about as close as I can possibly get to removing all advertising from interrupting my entertainment options.

The one that currently bugs me is the "Hughes Marino" commercial that's airing on TGC every 5 seconds for the last several months.

Just looked them up and they are somewhat local ... so I imagine that most of you have no idea what I'm talking about. :)

We can agree on this thread!  This is exactly what I do.  I'd rather pay upfront, whether Netflix, Rdio, or buying/renting outright like you can with shows/movies on Amazon.  Nobody needs constant chatter trying to manipulate them subconsciously into being even more materialistic than we already are...

+1. I do the same. Virtually 0 commercials.

I don't watch much TV but when I do, I either change the channel or mute the volume when I see Fucillo car ads.

I guess that GEICO commercial wasn't very effective, since Flo is Progressive, not GEICO. ;-)

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Flo is the best advertisement NOT to buy Progressive insurance. What a joke!

On the flip side, I could watch this set of "Lumbergh Returns" ads for Atlasssian all day. Well done!

STANDING IN THE HALL OF FAME. AND THE WORLD'S GONNA KNOW YOUR NAME. I also hate any commercial that tries to be funny, does suck. Just try to sell me your useless shit I don't need, don't try to be hilarious. Cause your not.

The only thing I hate more than this commercial is the song that plays during it.

    • Swing check. Cons: The countertop drill hasn't taken yet. Not crazy about A5 to A6 hand path. Pros: Decent BS width at A2 and right elbow at A4. All in all, not terrible but meh..
    • Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc. 
    • I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true. 
    • Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.
    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.
