My native land was rather seriously occupied/bombed to fuck during the war, so that approach rather falls down.
I like the sentiment, though.

Partly also because they have the volume so loud (usually about twice as loud as the programme).
And they last forever. In the UK you have time for a pee and make a quick cuppa. In Germany you could give birth and watch baby's first steps in the commercial breaks.

The fact that they are making me want to push white hot knives in my ears and get me reaching for the mute button is a sales technique I am unfamiliar with

If 3dB SPL is the smallest incrimental increase in volume a person can detect, 5 is not a very large increase at all. I'd say probably about 10.:P

As Mrs Vagabond owns my balls, and keeps them in a jar, by the bed.
In resentment, I create adverts for hair products, and deliberately patronise her. Obviously, being a woman, she is fucking thick and understands nothing other than romance novels, so I use terms like "Strengthulum" because she'll vaguely recognise it from the word "Strength" but will be utterly bamboozled - yet simultaneously impressed - by the perceived Latin form of the word, and so will think the product too detailed for her to understand, but ultimately trustworthy, as it is clearly manufactured by people cleverer than her (ie - people who know "Latin").

Man: Oh noes the dog has been injured. We're going to have to abandon him on a motorway as we can't afford the vets fees as we are poor and from the North.
Woman: Oh silly man, I am trim and spent the mortgage on my gleaming white teeth and you are scruffy and are infertile. I remembered it buy Fidocar pet insurance. You shall fumble to change a light bulb as I glide majestically down the street flashing my £10,000 smile.

while my sensible, non-ranty wife shall mock me for not realising we have energy-saving lightbulbs, which I probably would have paid for and installed in the first place if I wasn't so generically clumsy in a manly way.
