Television commercials

Uusally I try to avoid watching commercials by hitting the mute on the remote control and only looking up once in a while to see when the programme is starting, but occasionally, I will watch a commercial if it's funny, clever or unusual in some way.

I found a fun website devoted to television commercials called Vist4info.com which is all about advertisements and even provides a search engine to help you find your favourite commercials.
