You're telling me. Anyone notice how they are playing ads DURING shows now?! I HATE THEM ALL for it! At LEAST have the decency to wait until a break instead of covering the subtitles or some important letter we are supposed to read with that ad! CN used to be good about it, until they started doing two horrible things. One, they are trying to hype us up about COMMERCIALS FOR STAR WARS. That's right, I accuse that "mini-series" of being little more than a commercial! I saw the first two! The first was a SUMMERY, a SUMMERY! That's not awesome! The 2nd had about as much content AS a commerical (though, those expressions were priceless, pure hilarity). Worse yet, they are putting advertisements for those commercials on during show too! Nice and small, BUT THEY MAKE NOISE, and LOUD noise! I've missed more than a few lines of IMPORTANT dialog in shows because of those blasted Clone Wars ads playing during them! On the networks I ALMOST didn't have a problem because it was technically free, but Cable we PAY for! Another thing, Adult Swim's cards once said "you get this for free so stop complaining". We PAY for our cable here AS!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
