1. I agree.

Some of them are absolutely stupid. Although, that seems to be a prerequisite for a lot of them, anyway.

2. When I'm bombarded by commercials that annoy me

I'll email the company and let them know that they're making me like them less/making me less likely to buy their product. I don't know if it has any effect, but it makes me feel good.

Here's an interesting and entertaining analysis of advertising from Cracked.

6. As a owner and deployer of microphones, that ad makes me cringe.

This ad is normalizing/trivializing very bad behavior.

We tell clients, you drop it, you bought it, even if it still works. People still ask if it is ok to do a mic drop. We say that'll be $800 cash in advance and no, we don't take credit cards.
