I don't get it either, when I experience what you talk about I just laugh and sometimes ask my friends how they feel about it. Remember, it's normal to them. It's also amusing to see how TV advertising has evolved (or devolved to be more accurate) since the last time I saw a commercial.
How anybody puts up with that is beyond me.
Sometimes I go to YouTube or watch tv at a friend's house. Suddenly a smiling salesman is wagging his junk in my face. You people just accept this?
