Gregory Kane: "Moviegoers Pay The Price For Those Ads At The Theater"

The conservative Republican columnist writes: "But these days we get a horror show with every feature, in the form of pre-movie commercials. Pay your $9.50 these days, and you're guaranteed to hear four dimwits singing 'Wanta Fanta. Wanta Fanta. Wanta Fanta, Wanta Fanta' before the credits of the feature start rolling. No, I don't want any danged Fanta. I want what I paid my $9.50 for: a movie without commercials. The baby boomers among you might remember how parents explained why television had commercials and movies didn't. Those commercials, we were told, paid for the television shows that were on the air. Movies were different. Moviegoers paid the freight. So now we're still paying the freight - and theater chains are giving us commercials too? Is it just me, or has some unwritten contract been broken here?"
