I'm confused on a few counts: What front lines? You're "benefiting" from this process - a process which many folks revile (and didn't you do so earlier in the thread) - without having a vote yourself.

I am not sitting through commercials, soaking in their message and applying it when I go shopping.

I don't see the issue here

We use a DVR for any programming we watch on a regular basis. The commercials are skipped upon viewing.
