The commercial TV haiku

or: the sharks never get their mouth full enough

Wham bam – next
commercial break. Trip to
bathroom again.

Note
Seems like the likes of Netflix and Amazon have lost any semblance of shame by ramping up their commercial servings. Even though they get paid, they obviously think they’re not getting paid enough. What’s the ratio now – five minutes of viewing, then five minutes of commercials, then repeat? By the time you've finished a show, you know the commercials better than the plot.

The Netflix haiku

Pick a movie – watch –
loading – watch some more – loading –
stopped – OK – was that it?

Note
A reality haiku about trying to watch various movies on Netflix. I hope other people have better connections and get to watch entire films.
