What makes you think I buy that trash?  I actually buy very little
(since I'm not rich).  Besides in nations like the UK that have
commercial-free TV and radio, are the products any cheaper than U.S.
products?

NOPE. UK pays the same price.

It's a mistake to think that, if the FCC suddenly declared commercials
can no longer be aired on TV/radio, that U.S. companies would happily
cut their prices in half.  That would not happen.
