The TV advertising is really gross and annoying. And IMO, gotten much worse in recent years.

I hadn't watched TV in years before I went to Southeast Asia. I always laughed that it seemed all the commercials were for coffee and beauty products, rarely anything else.

Then I happened to catch live TV for the first time in a while after I returned, and realized it seemed 80% of the commercials were for random drugs. It made me wish we had more coffee and beauty product commercials!



I recently went sober from alcohol and afterwards realized how much alcohol advertising there is, it's actually pretty insane. For certain programs (like football) it's almost %50 of the ads.
