Because they are a HUGE waste of time. Back in the day, television and radio used advertising since it was a free service we used. Free radio, yeah-hit me with commercials, free newspaper? Okay, hit me with advertisements. Cable television, satellite radio that I'm paying for? GTFO. If I'm paying for something, then I don't want my time wasted with a bunch of crap....how about paying me for having to endure thru a 30-second piece o' crap commercial. Same thing with the mother f*cking movie theaters.
If I'm paying $10 for a ticket and another $15 for popcorn & soda (don't get me started on that pricing), then do not inundate me with stupid commercials just because some A-hole said at some stupid corporate staff meeting that Corporation XYZ could increase revenue by advertising in a non-traditional setting. Back in the day, movies only showed previews-not commercials of Fanta or the LA Times.
