Discourteous!
The other day, I wanted to watch a TV serial on one of the private channels. As is probably true about most other TV programmes, it was also sponsored by a list of commodities/companies. But it was a horrible experience to be repeatedly distracted by commercials coming in the form of courtesy. It is understandable, in the age of market, that one can't expect to gain something, even entertainment, for free; here comes media endorsement of commodities. But too much is simply gross!
I just switched off the television and got to bed. My humble reminder to such programme planners would be that even courtesy should not forget its limits!
