If a commercial is on too much and if it contains a very annoying and repetitive tune then I will deliberately not buy the product. I know it's silly but it feels somewhat like a form small of punishment for having a terrible commercial. I don't appreciate their blatant attempt at trying to nestle their way into my subconscious by ramming their crappy signature tune down my throat, or into my ear, to be more exact.
Then there's that little delightful thing on my remote control called a mute button. I use it frequently.
I was at the grocery store a while ago and on the T.V screens that they now have above the cash registers, a particularly annoying whistling tune blared out for about the 500th time, and I vowed that if I ever heard it again I would be berserk in the store. My father, who I was with at the time, agreed with me. He hates it too. We're a very testy family. We were the only family on the block who'd call the cops or complain when the neighbours had loud parties at late hours.

Sometimes I like a song...but then it gets used in a commercial that gets played over and over again. That kind of ruins the song for me. For example, now, every time I hear that song "Unwritten," I think of that Schick Quatro razor for women, instead of the feel-good message of the lyrics.
Good thing Coldplay doesn't lend its songs to commercials like that.
Exactly! I hate this too. Right now the song Neverending Story is used in a commercial for toilet paper. They should be shot.
