[Kzyxtalk] "Commercial Attitude" must be replaced

[BC]

One clarifying example of "commercial attitude" is the constant 
promotion of programs in the future - as much as a week aheadl The 
affect on me and others is to distract and break the train of thought 
from what the program is (mood) creating - like the commercials  
commercially.   IMO individuals respond with frustration about their 
mental/emotional state being disturbed/violated senselessly.  ~BC
