All so that they get more money from advertising companies? I would switch the tv off for 2 minutes during the ad's, just out of spite.
Don't tell me they have a special remote control that blocks all the 'off' and 'mute' buttons from being used during ad breaks aswel...

Nothing to do with spite... they have to finance the shows somehow. We do live in a market economy!
