Yeah, they're really out of control. I remember when cable was commercial free in the very beginning... it seemed to really make them work to produce new and interesting content... now, with all the adverts it seem like a lot of the same old crap... 

And, as you say, they charge us twice! We pay a 'corporate tax' to pay for all the commercials in the increased prices of goods and services and then subscription fees... what a racket.
