"I've lived all my life in this weird wonderland;

I keep buying things that I don't understand,

'Cause they promise me miracles, magic, and hope,

But, somehow, it always turns out to be soap."
—"Chim Chim Cheree" by Allan Sherman, a parody of "Chim Chim Cheree" from Mary Poppins

Like it or not, commercials (or "adverts", as they're called in the UK and New Zealand) are a big part of TV all media.
