Hi Bubba here, I was watching "A Christmas Carol" yesterday afternoon. It stars with one of my actors Kelsey Grammar, so I thought I would watch, anyway, I watching the movie and feeling in the holiday mood and USA cuts to a promo commercial for "The 40 YEAR-OLD" Virgin, usually I understand. They have to promote the movie. But, they kept playing it over and over, just about every commercial break and I ended up turning the channel. What I trying to get across is, USA needs to slow down on promote such a movie, especially during Christmas time. I mean, come on.
Full Version: Enough With The Commercials

THANK-YOU!!!! I concur with your sentiments exactly. I was truly offended with the ad nauseum "40 Year Old Virgin" commercials. How many times can someone be expected to sit through a person puking on someone else? The commercials are offensive anyway but especially when kids are home innocently watching Christmas fair and have to see that repeatedly. I'm so glad someone else said the same thing I was thinking. THANKS again! and Merry Christmas!
that bugged me too. i understand they wanna get the word out about the movie being shown, but there's more tasteful ways of doing it. maybe two or three times during a movie being played would be ok cause pretty much most people watching it are in for the long run and will see all the commercials for it.
with the amount of times they played that commercial i don't even feel the need to watch the movie now. i've already gotten my fill of it just from the commercials 
Another reason why I love my TiVO. It's not just that they show the same ones every break. It seems like they like to show the same commercial twice in the same break, back to back sometimes.
i hated those commercials
i hated those commercials too. it was hard to watch the SVU marathon because of it.
I am disgusted with the 40 year old virgin commercials. I am sick and tired of seeing them over and over and over. Why anyone would think that seeing this extremely suggestive content shown repeatedly would convince us to want to watch this movie is beyond me. Are they hurting so bad for content to advertise that they have to resort to this. The clips they have chosen from the movie to put in the promos is the worst part. No one wants to see somebody get projectile vomit in the face over and over. Come on guys. Wake up.

Agreed.
You are right and its not only Christmas... What ever the day or time the commercials are becoming irritating and that too when we pay about $90 per month to the cable guys. I have recently bought a satellite TV connection for my computer from Click Here! . I just paid $50 installation and no monthly payments. It gives me 3000 channels in all. Its just Awesome.

I see the 40 year Old virgin is coming back... I am so tired of the commercials myself. and all the comments on the part with the puke....THAT IS SO GROSS. I haven't seen the movie still, and have NO desire!
For those reasons, USA Today started the Ad Meter, a poll that gives live responses per second of each commercial. The Super Bowl became the must-see for advertisers during the third quarter of the telecast of Super Bowl XVIII on CBS, when Apple Computer debuted a one-time-only advertisement for their Macintosh computer titled 1984, directed by Ridley Scott.
