I agree wholeheartedly. Especially when music becomes used in commercials and 
its meaning is often reversed... Remember when "Sing Sing Sing" was "The Chips 
Ahoy Song"? Plenty of examples from car commercials, Burger King commercials, 
etc. I haven't seen any in a while, though because I don't watch TV.

It's very easy to avoid the bulk of advertising. Here's the big secret: Quit 
watching TV! http://www.killyourtelevision.org
