These Stronger than the storm commercials with Christie are getting annoying!

I live in NYC so I see these commercials and at first I thought they were good, but now they are on all the time and I just can't stand it anymore. Anyone else find them annoying?

Philly gets inundated with Jersey commercials too. I don't know why he's even bothering, he's going to crush his opponent.

And my husband in his anything but infinite wisdom has taken to making fun of the entire Christie family every time they come on. In a very junior high school 'mean girl' kind of way. Read between the lines.

Since he's standing over me - he feels like they are Electioneering "PSA's" that he's paying for. I.E. A rip off way and shake down to get tax payers to pay for Christies Re-election.

And that's all I'm typing. Nothing about Christie's weight in spite of his surgery is getting posted on DU by me. He wants that - he can open his own damn account.
