Apparently I *need* some method of skipping commercials, as quitting TV outright is much harder for me than quitting tobacco (going cold turkey made me a complete arse for 3 weeks then I got mostly better)... proof being that my critical thinking skills are falling away, as I lately tend to use the wrong comparators (> vs. <), confused programs with protocols, and lead people believe that I use a hammer to fix something that software could be fixed with electrons, bits, or bytes. I'm way off, and I need less commercial content NOW or I need it soon!
