cell phone ringing during commercials on TV

Yes,I have been hearing it lately also.
Some marketing wizards new way to annoy people

We were talking with the Master regarding the nature of conceptual reality. Psychologically speaking, the human mind, or brain or whatever, is almost incapable of distinguishing between the real and the vividly imagined experience. Sound and film and music and radio. Even these manipulative experiences are received more or less directly and uninterpretive by the mind. They are cataloged and recorded and either acted upon directly, or stored in the memory, or both. Now this process, unless we pay it tremendous attention, begins to separate us from the reality of the now. Am I being clear? For we must allow the reality of the now to just happen, as it happens. Observe and act with clarity. For where there is clarity, there is no choice. And were there is choice, there is misery. But then, why should I speak, since I know nothing?

Come again?

I might be crazy but has anyone else heard cell phone ring tones or text message tones during TV commercials? I'm not taking about your phone going off but the sounds being on the TV.

I'm wondering if they are using this as a way to cause viewers to be attracted to the TV so you watch the commercial.

The wife has heard the same thing when I pointed it out and I have TIVO'ed it and played it back.

Your thoughts are correct --Thet do that to get your attention towards the TVand I HATE IT.
I so glad there is someone who feels like I do.........
