Although i'm a more discriminating viewer of modern TV, I have to agree
with you about the unconfortable-ness of techno music commercials. Of
course, I'm more accustomed to the cheesy synth crap for Sega and
Nintendo commercials here in 'merika, but you do make a good point. I
haven't even seen the Levi's or Perelli's ad's, but I'm sure it can't be
much worse than the synthipop crap played on MTV.
My advise to those who can't stand techno on TV---Turn it off! 'Nuff Said!'
