The exact same commercials...five straight times.

[Pink Freud]

Yes, it's back to back to back to back to back. The exact same commercial. I've seen this on one major cable network dozens of times in prime time in the last couple of months. Are they --- or the local cable carrier --- having trouble filling ad slots, and providing paid ads plus freebies just to fill time? Or, are the paying advertisers deliberately trying to push their brand and message down our throats ad nauseum?
