I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable

As I recall, back in the late 90s there was a story in the Wall Street Journal about a man who loved receiving email spam. After a long day's work he would go home and relax by looking through his email spam and order things.

Some people are just like that.

I don't like spam but I do like a good scam email, especially if they've actually given it some plot.

Tbh, I can relate to some degree. Sometimes I really love watching TV commercials. My favorite is teleshopping

Yeah, when I watch sports events from other countries it's interesting to see the commercials, even if I don't speak the language. It's when I have to watch 20 minutes of the same commercials every hour that it gets bad.

Infomercials are incredibly entertaining TV and I will stand by that statement
