As a continuation of my blog from yesterday about boycotting.... let's explore the area of entertainment. Is it possible for them to stick just ONE MORE commercial advertisement into my TV viewing experience? Can't I view even MORE previews before starting that movie? You better believe they can, and will..... as long as we allow it. Some DVDs now will not allow you to fast forward through the "previews" (ads) before the movie. I have found that going to the disc menu can usually bypass the ads but it's just a matter of time if nothing is done. The typical TV show has 18 minutes of programming and 12 minutes of commercials per half hour. Don't believe me? Time it yourself! They try to convince you that you can't LIVE without it (the "it" being whatever they are selling of course). So, what to do????
BOYCOTT it!!!!! Make it public knowledge which companies or stations are the worst offenders and let them know that you will NOT tolerate it anymore. Personally, I will not rent or buy a Rogue Pictures movie because they are one I know of that has too many ads before the movie and doesn't allow the viewer to fast forward to the movie. Take a stand... get fed up.... go into action!
Just a note here about Hersheys chocolate company. My wife informed me recently that they are closing a plant in Canada and one in California (at least) and starting a new facility in Mexico.
Happy for Mexico, sad for the U.S. and Canada. Sorry Hersheys, you just made my person boycott list and I urge everyone else to join me.... No more Hershey chocolate... no Kit Kat bars... no peppermint patties... or anything else by Hersheys. (Shouldn't eat that crap anyway)
