One good thing about the complicated television system my husband has concocted is that the children don't normally watch commercials. The DVR lets us skip right through them on any recorded show.
So, on the rare occasion when we get to watch a live show - say, a baseball playoff game - the commercials are the most interesting thing to them. They mostly half-ignore the TV when they watch, usually play some game on the side. Until a commercial comes on. Then, they are mesmerized, staring at the TV like it has super-powers.
Between the Brewers and the Red Sox, we've had a few play-off games on this week. As a result, the children have been parading through the house, dancing with each other, singing "Viva Viagra!" at the top of their lungs. That is one of their favorites.
Not sure how to explain that one to them.

I'm not sure how to explain it to *me*!
Hahahahahaha. Dying over here. That is quite the catchy tune, thankyouverymuch Elvis...
We too avoid commercial TV, and she does the same thing - slack-jawed in amazement when the ads come on.
