you negated yourself...

that's a pure sign of faulty logic, when someone negates their own argument.

You said they should turn off the TV altogether. Fine, but then you are condoning not watching a commercial as well.

Your avoidance of a commercial is no better or worse than anyone else's. Self-righteous indignation over a president's message about talking to your child over a commercial is, well, amusing. It's like watching a child have a temper tantrum. I'm thinking your father didn't talk to you enough over the commercials maybe.
