The highest peeve (mine) yet low key commercial of the holidays.

[UTUSN]

Actually, for the past 3 or 4 years that Roku stick/YouTube is my absolute only media outlet, having cut satellite and pundits' mouthing off a decade ago, am able to escape various seasonal crazinesses. The YouTube universe has commercials but with the option of "Skip"-ping on a countdown basis (the "free"? version, have no idea about subscription type).

But despite this, the *one* commercial that seeped through (still susceptible to Skipping) to the top irritating spot: Something about sort of high end leather folders, billfolds, planners and such. Seems that there was only one version and I never let it play out, but it immediately irritated: The supposedly calming, luxury mood music, hands modeling a leather product or another, a cup of coffee, a leisurely pace of all the time in the world. Just couldn't click it away soon enough. It's still going on, the whole season.

1. For some reason my adware has killed the commercials on youtube. It even had killed the ads on DU ...

... before I finally got my star. Wish I could tell you which one but I've loaded several about ten years ago or more and the heck if I can remember which they are.

I do like that notebook, I use mole skin but they are so stiff I break them down keeping them in my back pocket and I have to mend them with duck tape before I fill them up. I have a collection I still use for reference and they look like they've been through the war.

2. Hah! - am really glad for you and the notebook! Will wish it for you!

As for adware, I shout from the highest hill that I'm really really low tech and don't mess with anything! At my old age I have no use for things, am getting rid of stuff, use a one-dollar booklet calendar for (just about only doctor's appointments) from the dollar store, about the only time I go there once a year to get the booklet! Yeah, don't use the phone for calendar or other things!

3. As a former ad copywriter

And producer of television ads, I like this commercial

What’s wrong with having nice materials with which to write and reflect?

4. Nothing's wrong for whoever.likes it. The self-satisfied tone of it rubbed me wrong.
