HOPPING MAD
Despite the ever-growing number of channels on UK television, these channels seem to be getting better and better at timing the advertisements/commercials so that they mostly all happen at the same time.
I'm maybe 75 percent certain (based on pure guesswork) that the channels are conspiring to ensure that we have the minimum chance to avoid adverts by channel hopping.
I wonder what the ethical dimension is regarding this activity? They appear to be actively undermining the audience's desire to avoid adverts.
However the audience, of course, isn't being FORCED to watch either.
Thing is, no one is FORCING people in America to eat crap food too. Yet I'm told that US public taxes are subsidising hamburgers and driving up the relative cost of healthier food.
If the main argument is "well, no one is FORCING you to do xxxxx" then I guess us having "freedom" is the number one excuse for providing us with shit. Thanks a bunch.
