Am I the only one getting tired of these fucking converter box commercials?

[Zavulon]

I mean, for fuck's sake - they've been on for months already, and they're going to be on for almost five more months. I stayed home from work today and caught up on some stuff on my DVR, and so far I've seen ELEVEN converter box commercials during four hours of TV viewing.

I understand that awareness of the program is the goal, but a year's worth of the same goddamned commercial, on every channel thinkable? Am I the only one getting sick of this?

1. No, because they keep mentioning my birthday

Since that is the date of the change.

:D

Don't forget my gift.

2. I'll buy you a converter box if you stop those goddamned commercials.

I'm desperate here.

(Happy Birthday 4+ months in advance :) )

3. They're afraid people are so numb they won't care.

Like damn, if their teevee stops working how will they know what to be afraid of???
