36. I see those commercials constantly along with Lume deodorants.

Running ads like these non-stop and sometimes twice in a row is so annoying that I turn the channel or hit the "mute" button. Don't these companies see that their ads are not drawing in new buyers but are actually repelling people, the opposite of their desired effect? They piss me off so much that I run for my remote control so I do not have to hear one more word of their crap.
