Paid Commercial TV

Oct 01, 2008 11:33

This needs to be said. Normally, I have no problem with advertisers who want to buy up a whole 30 minutes of air time on a station, so they can advertise their awesome, new product*. This is how Swiffer started. But what I don't care for is when I flip stations, looking for something awesome to watch, like Mythbusters, or maybe The Daily Show, the last thing I need is to hear while flipping past one of these paid commercial shows is the following 2 words:

Colon Cleanser

Seriously. Eww. And that is what's wrong with paid commercial television.

--Salen

* Product may or may not actually be awesome and/or new.

tv, money, wtf?, commercials
