<li><p>Press conferences (post mortems. really) following various sports’ games/contests/matches. Who are they kidding?! If that isn’t a bore, I do not know what is. There is a reason those people are athletes – let them do what they do best, and then keep more or less quiet about it. </p></li>
<li><p>Commercials for televisions. They don’t work for two good reasons:
A. If the tv being watched is not the one being advertised the viewer will only see what his own television can produce – not what the one in the ad. can.
B. If it is the same tv as the one in the ad. then the ad is of no use to the viewer.</p></li>
