Well, such is life! It seems to me though that you are complaining about bothersome content interrupting your commercial viewing ;-) ... it seems you would rather chat about who is reading what books (look what a bunch of smarty-pants we are! ;-) Some of us even read two books at the same time! ;-)), and so on?
