I don't have a TV & as I listen to Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio which is government financed, I don't hear much in the way of adverts, just occasional ones for their books/CDs/DVDs.

However they do advertise their sport programs & I get pissed off at some bloke screaming about the next game - the other team is often referred to as the enemy & it almost sounds like war, especially for interstate games.

Announcements for stuff in the Shop are read in a normal tone of voice, ads for the next game are always yelled by some excitable, hoarse-voiced bloke who sounds like he's been sitting in the sun watching the game while drinking copious quantities of beer & advising the referee (& players) where to go & what to do when they get there.
