Obviously some people aren't, otherwise there'd be no need for the adverts.

I hate them myself but they should never stop showing them as much as they do.

Most of them time I just mute/change the channel, they're just too depressing.

I get hissed off when they show adverts asking to sponsor kids who get beaten up by their parents. They invariably show a kid called Rex or something who has a camera right in his face. They've obviously made him wear a soggy nappy and probably not fed him for a couple of days just to get the right effect.

I quite agree. I find them mawkish and patronising, like most charity ads.
