Why Are We Paying?

There oughta be a law about how many times an infomercial can be shown within a certain time span and how many simultaneous broadcasts can be made on different channels. And I don’t understand the concept of paying for cable TV channels that are infomercials at least six hours a day. How are cable companies getting away with this?

Of course, back in the ‘70s (or was it the late ‘60s) I never understood the need to pay extra to have name brands on the outside of your clothing, thus advertising for them at your own expense. Maybe it’s just that I’ve always been the odd person out.

Can someone explain the logic in either of these?
