I don't think I'm getting enough advertising in my life

I mean, admittedly cable features 200 or so channels that carry about 25% advertising even though we're PAYING to have this stuff funneled into our home and you can surf up to 10 channels in a row and hit nothing but ads on any of them. Admittedly radio is a warren of dumdum ads, including especially the ones for listening to radio. (Like the ones on Time-Warner for watching Time-Warner. Hey, thanks! I never would have thought of that!) Admittedly our roadways are bracketed by billboards everywhere, for restaurants where I don't want to eat and churches I have no interest in attending. But dammit, there could be more! I don't understand why there aren't advertisements beamed to my eyeglass lenses. Why aren't there ads preprogrammed into my CD-Rs so that I don't have to risk enjoying music without having idiots babble to me about acne cream. I know that there are cable channels composed entirely of advertising especially at this time of night, but half-hour infomercials and home-shopping shows lack ambition! There should be epic advertisements, days-long advertisements, advertisements that never end. There should be a channel devoted to non-stop 24-hour unsullied unedited unadulterated bullshit. There-- oh wait, we've already got that. Thank heaven for the Fox News Channel. Never mind!

1. Wanna make a billion dollars?

Invent a device that will silence a radio when the commercials play.

Oh, you won't get rich marketing the device to the general public. No.

But Clear Channel would pay you a billion dollars to own the patent.

5. They own a goodly proportion of XM

I don't think they're too worried about it.
