One of the upsides to not having cable, and just listening to the Sox games on the radio, is the lack of stupid commercials. Yeah, they have radio ads, but they are usually far less stupid than those seen on TV.
Some commercials on TV are okay, such as ones urging you to go and get life insurance quotes. But most of them are so obnoxious, even insulting, to some viewers.
The worst ones, though, are not on NESN, they are during Faux Sports Saturday Game of the Week. Faux Sports lives under the impression that all sports fans are mindless buffoons who eat nasty crap like Domino’s Pizza and Taco Hell, and drink Bud Lite. The latter two are major sponsors of Faux Sports’ baseball coverage. And the commercials are very dumbed-down, to cater to the lowest common denominator.
I have far better taste than that. If I want Mexican food, I will either go to a real Mexican style restaurant, or cook my own at home. I made some really tasty pork carnitas last week. Besides, Taco Hell is about as Mexican as I am. And as for Bud Lite, well, that is the worst form of swill ever. Okay, maybe not as bad as Busch Lite, but still pretty bad. Sam Adams or a micro for me, please!
I suspect that most fans are more like me, in that they graduated from swill food and beer years ago, and have the money and taste buds for better stuff. It’s insulting that Faux Sports seems to think that most of their viewers still live in “Animal House”.

Finally, speaking of stooopid commercials…can someone PLEASE explain to me what the VW ad with the guy with the chainsaw is supposed to mean? If it’s supposed to be some kind of joke, I don’t get it.
Maybe if I gorge myself on greasy crap from Taco Hell and drink lots of Bud Lite, I will be so out of it that I might actually find that ad funny. Right now, I think it’s stupid.
