Wondering how fed up others are with the commercializing and Advertising if the outdoors?

I don't mean to complain but wondered others opinion when "enough is enough"

Gettin kinda tired of watchin shows that are 1/2 advert and 1/2 hunt... Then during the 1/2 show the host mentions the products again in some cheesy way that product made the whole hunt success possible....

Magazines can be the same way 1/2 ad 1/2 article... In which the article is based around the advertisers for the mag. Reviews are only about the products in the magazine...

Do most accept it? or does it bug ya?

Maybe 10-15 minutes of actual hunt footage in a 1/2 hour segment.

Let me put it this way . . . .
I would like to see America as a whole boycott TV COMPLETELY for one week.
Or one, single weekend even.
Does THAT tell you how much it annoys me?

I can remember programs where you had maybe 2 or 3 TOTAL commercial breaks, and that was a SINGLE commercial at a time, not TEN OR TWELVE CONSECUTIVE COMMERCIALS, maybe even showing the same one twice ot three times in a single break.

SECURE THE BORDER
DEPORT THE ILLEGALS
THEN get back with me on 'comprehensive' reform.

Those "pop up" ads that disturb me while watching a program are particularly annoying, as is the new trend of disrupting the credits at the end of a program to show yet another commercial. What especially irritates me is that cable originally sold us on the concept of pay tv because it had no commercials. >:(

I see it a slightly different way. I see some of these products degrading the hunting or fishing experience. Some more than others.

Case in point...have you seen this "Rocket Rod"

Brought to us by one of the biggest product pimps out there, Roland Martin...this actually keeps a kid from learning how to cast...

There are others that are great products, great ideas, but seem to take away some of the fun, or the challenge to me. Trail cameras for instance. Sure it is nice to know exactly what you are hunting, but isn't it kind of nice to have some sense of mystery too? I don't know, maybe I'm talkin out my butt, but I see hunting turning into this drive-thru industry, and that bothers me. Alot...
