David Simon says advertising is ruining television

Everyone has an opinion about TV commercials. Some people think that advertising is a cancer that has to be erased, and they fast forward through all of the ads when they record a show. Other people love advertising and understand that commercials pay for a lot of our entertainment options (I would put myself in that category). David Simon, creator of The Wire, is in the former category. Is he right?| Yes! TV would be better without ads. | |

| Yes, but we have to live with it. | |
| No, ads help pay for shows. |
