Commercials I Hate

As I've mentioned before, I love love love (good) commercials. But lately, all I see are advertisements that piss me off. Like that AT&T commercial where the woman berates her husband and mutters that she should have married someone else. Or that Toyota commercial where that annoying girl thinks that being on Facebook is "living."

But my least favorite commercial EVER? It's from VTech. All you have to do is watch the first three seconds. I don't know how the commercial ends (and frankly, I don't care) because every time it comes on, I start yelling at the TV.



I know that eReaders are the way of the future. I know that — much to my chagrin — there will likely be a time where more books will be sold digitally than in print. But that time is NOT now. And it makes me really angry that anyone would teach their children that books are a thing of the past.

What do you think about this commercial? What do you imagine the future looks like in regard to reading?
