Might just get rid of the mute button

Why is it that we have to wait for the Super Bowl to come once a year to get really good and entertaining commercials?
If you watch television like I do the best button ever invented on a remote control is the mute.
Most commercials on the boob tube are, in my opinion, dry to say the least. Especially the ones for medications that have umpteen side effects that often are worse than the benefits of the medication. So I mute them (If I could fast forward them I would).
Then once a year the companies decide to actually hire an ad agency that designs entertaining commercials that for the most part make us all laugh.
Heck I know people that watch the Super Bowl

just to see the commercials.
In the past few years the Canadian satellite companies have dubbed Canadian commercials over the U.S. ones and at first they were not nearly as good as the U.S. ones. But this year they improved dramatically... especially the Bell Canada Beavers.
We took things a step further this year. Watching the game at my parent’s place, where there is also high speed internet, we found the website that had all the U.S. commercials and watched them there.
So we were able to get entertained by both countries advertisements.
You know if the companies that had the ads produced for the Super Bowl had them like that all year long I might just get rid of the mute button.
