 subliminal messages on TV

I don't know about you... but I'm getting damn sick of noticing TV programs and commercials trying to get me to do something (buy a product, vote for a candidate, or just generally feel this way or that way about a certain topic) by using underhanded subliminal messaging techniques. The list of products and companies I will never use grows almost every time I turn on the tube, because I simply will not react kindly to being treated this way. If they want me to do something, they should present it in a liminal way.
Your thoughts?

I wish commercials were more scientifically informative. Don't just say your product is better. Tell me why and how it is better.

Oh the McDonald's commercial they show all the time on Nickelodeon pisses me off. Telling my kids that happy meals are the "Ultimate Source of Happiness" how ridiculous!!
What I really want to know is, do commercials really have to try and "fool" us into buying their shit? I don't know about subliminal messages, but even the straight messages in commercials treat us as if we are so dumb, we will buy something for the ridiculous reasons they provide us.
The saddest part is that it works. So many people go out and buy stuff they don't even want because of sleazy ad tactics.

Reminds me of those Coke bottles with hidden pictures of sexual vulgarity. 
"Yeah, I'll take a can of se... I mean Coke."
Gets 'em every time.

I don't watch much TV. Mine hasn't been turned on in a couple of weeks, and I'm on summer vacation.
I prefer the internets.

I still watch TV because there are a few programs I find worth tuning in for... nature shows mostly. I am a NG addict. And as Bob Dylan sung, "I've been wading through the high muddy waters, with the heat risin' in my eyes." In other words, here I am with all these companies trying to subordinate me, but I know they'll fail so I just continue on. Shrooming has given me knowledge, wisdom, and perspective - so that now when my subconscious is attacked or appealed to, it alerts my conscious mind. Hooray for shrooms!

Fact: Internet > TV
I haven't owned a TV in about 3 years, I love it.

I haven't watched tv in a long time, but I still watch allot of movies (hooray for netflix), I'm sure that isn't any better though. At least when I rent or download a tv show I don't have to deal with all of the commercials.

Its getting to the point where I can't even watch TV or listen to the radio anymore because the ads bother me so much.
Now I just record shows on my cable box and fast forward through the commercials.
In movies, its bad too. I hate product placement, although it gets pretty funny noticing how they slip things in, labels facing perfectly towards the viewer...
I had a teacher from Sweden and she said that until the 90s or something they didn't have commercials. She was saying her relatives used to come here to visit and laugh their asses off at American commercials.
