　　I used to be a faithful TV watcher. Besides the latest information, I ‘d love to appreciate beautiful exotic sceneries and enjoy the evening with my favorite singers, actors and hosts. It was the advertisement that frustrated me. Ad is a great annoyance of watching television.

　　In the first place, the ads waste time. Generally speaking, at least 5 or 6 minutes is lost when watching the ads during a single news program, and usually 10 to 15 or even more during a good movie. In the second place, the ads often interrupt the viewer. The viewer may forget the situation of a show because of frequently inserted ads; even worse, the watcher may lose his pleasant mood when the ads come on one after another, which can bring negative psychological influence such as disappointment, depression, anxiety and so on so forth. Besides, the ads make many products look more appealing than they really are, some of which even look so disgusting. For example, an expensive car is made to seem luxurious, or a bad product like deodorant is made to look very good by showing a beautiful amazing lady taking shower! Therefore, the television viewer must be aware and critical of the ad in order to endure them.
