I never watch regular TV any more. While cooped up in a hotel room in January of 2018 in Las Vegas, I did find a channel running episodes of Forensic Files so I watched that. The commercials consisted of:

1. The junk food and fast food you can stuff your face with.
2. The drugs you can take to repair what you did to your health because of 1.
3. The ambulance chasing lawyers with operators standing by to help you sue for the damages caused by 2.

Repeat loop, ad nauseum. It was amazing.

Contrast that with an old episode of Ozzie and Harriet from 1952. The commercials consisted of (drum roll) Hotpoint appliances.

Times have changed.
