I have young kids. They turn the TV on first thing in the morning and only my wife gets turned off by me later than them in the evening.
Now, my kids don’t actually vegetate in front of the TV, they much prefer to destroy the foundation of the apartment and override my wife’s iPad screenlock. But! Whilst the TV is on, I’m either forced to watch or listen to the advertisements that vie for my kids’ attention during the time that the “boobless-tube” is on.
As an aside, there was a website many moons ago visited by many foreigners with a bent sense of humor. We used to have our “favorite” CCTV 9 commercials to shred.
Now, I put forward four commercials that make me wish that there was no handgun restrictions in China:
I’d kill for a ‘Hangzhou’ or Dragon Wine commercial again!

I love your comments. Sad that it ended at only 4 commercials. Will there be a continuatiuon? By the way, what's the point of using a blackboard during a phone lesson? Was it a video call?

I agree - some of the commercials defy logic. What I can't understand is the number of commercials on both TV and buses in Changsha for fertility clinics, throughout the day.......
