I'm getting old...

I feel old for saying this, but I swear ad breaks are getting longer.

I was watching Hustle today on Watch, and it wasn't until it was nearly finished that I noticed it had come back on, I zoned out during the ads and never focused back in.

I'm not complaining about the ad break, because without them we wouldn't have Brains dancing, Alxander and Sergei the meerkats, Peter Kays John Smith ads or the drum playing gorilla, but it gets to the stage where I'm asking 'is it really worth it?' Great ads are few and far between, but not a minute goes by that somebody doesn't try to convince me to sell my gold, sue for an accident or combine all my loans.

I also find that shows which used to last a full half hour have been shortened to 5 minutes. Maybe you didn't notice, it happened slowly, with a half hour show becoming 27 mins long, then 25, 23, 20, 17, 15. and so on. pretty soon you won't be able to distinguish the shows from the ads, except that the shows won't last as long.

Anyway, this was all last nights rant but my laptop packed up again.... lets save that for another day.



Who even reads these things? :P
