Nerver ending dumb and senseless commercials on TV

I just saw a commercial on TV late this afternoon that stated that 1 in 5 Americans will die from blah, blah, blah, but that's an impossible statement because there is over 300 million people in America and 1 out of 5 is 20% so multiply 300,000,000 by 20 percent and that equals 60 million people a year that are supposedly dying from blah, blah, and blah each year in America. That's impossible, in fact-it's a lie. We would have a drastically decreasing population in America because 60 million per year times 5 years = 300 million. These stupid people that make up these senseless commercials do supply us with hilarious entertainment though.

Re: Nerver ending dumb and senseless commercials on TV

At least we're blessed with some commercial free tv here in the UK - the BBC shows no commercials.

Although having said that, commercial breaks are a good opportunity for visiting the loo, and making a coffee/tea without missing any of what you're watching!

Just to clarify they probably didn't say "per year" but rather that 1 in 5 Americans cause of death will be X in their lifetime. Per year wouldn't make any sense at all.
