  • Commercial development is a key element in the SimCity series. Unlike industry, commercial development is clean, very picky when it comes to desirability and provides many jobs when skyscrapers develop. the most common buildings to develop on Light Commercial are boutiques and shops. There are low density, medium density and high density zones available. Trivia: •In Simcity 2013,a gas station would build within the commercial zones.If they catch fire for too long and not extinguished,they would explode and destroy the buildings located on its left and right.
  • Despite the existence of comics, cartoons, and other media intended to advertise Transformers toys, Hasbro has routinely commissioned standard television commercials to promote their current toy lines. Commercials for Transformers typically use a combination of animation and live-action film featuring the characters/toys in question.
  • Commercial is a stat that is similar to industry, but has a smaller effect.
  • Since the notion of women acting was socially frowned upon, all roles in the first commercial — an ad for condoms — were played by men. The ad was so successful that Trojans continue to be sold in gas stations and really cheap stores everywhere today, though nowadays they are not made of bronze as they originally were.
  • Commercials are advertisements created by people who have no idea what the customer wants, so they just guess around and decide on something eventually, which is virtually always way-off track except for the stupid people who decide to buy the crap anyways. They have no idea what to do with all the money spent making these products, so they decide to sell the products to unwanting customers, resulting in them being hated, along with every other commercial advertiser.

  • Since the notion of women acting was socially frowned upon, all roles in the first commercial — an ad for condoms — were played by men. The ad was so successful that Trojans continue to be sold in gas stations and really cheap stores everywhere today, though nowadays they are not made of bronze as they originally were. Commercials began growing like a malignant tumor. Gladiator battles in the Roman Coliseum often had commercial breaks. In one famous commercial series, during a duel, one gladiator would turn to the other and say, "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?", before being stabbed in the neck by the other gladiator's dagger. Grey Poupon mustard sales in Roman times were extremely low. In the Dark Ages, Lord Trudeau, a man remembered for his commercial scams, published a book titled, "Natural Cures For The Plague "They" Don't Want You To Know About". Despite not being an apothecary or alchemist, Trudeau's books were heavily popular among the credulous serfdom before he died of the plague in 1348. Trudeau employed fake testimonials, fake statements from certified alchemists, fake anecdotes, and slapstick humor to make his commercials successful. The cotton gin, which was invented in 1793, was heavily advertised by Eli Whitney. Commercials for it often featured a slave complaining to his master about the difficulty of separating cotton fibers from the seedpods and the sometimes sticky seeds. The slave owner would then start rambling on about the brand new "cotton gin" he bought, explain a little about it, and then whip the slave and demand he get back to work. Late in his life, around 1939 or so, Leon Trotsky attempted to capitalize on Communism™ and market his own line of writing utensils in China after being exiled by Stalin. As such, Trotsky is credited with bringing the ability of written language to the people of China. However, the western world refused to allow such a pro-Communism product be advertised, and they quickly became unpopular. With the introduction of the television in America came the horrors of watching limbs and other body parts explode in Vietnam and the horrors of watching commercials. But along with the war came all kinds of counterculture problems that needed to be exploited by corporations. For example, razor commercials attempted to appeal to "all natural" hippie women (a failed endeavor). But because nobody would put commercials made by hippies on TV, hippies were stuck to promoting the Summer of Love and Woodstock with fliers. With the invention of the internet came the invention of commercials for the internet, such as pop-ups. Though they are technically considered commercials, they are infinitely more annoying and thus have their own category. They're used to promote all sorts of things, from lame websites to free viruses for your computer. The internet is also full of banners, spam in your e-mail, and commercials on videos. Just to watch a news clip on MSN.com, you're forced to watch some stupid car commercial.

And the gay part is that they interrupt TV shows and movies that you watch, and especially during suspensful parts, too, and it makes you want to take your TV and stab it with a knife or something and go outside and randomly take out your grandmother's machine gun, start shooting it, walk back inside, and close the door dramatically while laughing maniacally.
