"Reaction [beta]"

TBS and its annoying interstitial commercials 5 Jun 2008

US TV network TBS pauses the show you are watching (Family Guy in the clip above) to bring you an advertisement. Somebody. Please. Stop. Them.

As Jason Kottke says: "I realize that Time Warner doesn't actually care about the people who watch their shows and that television programs are just the networks' way of getting people to watch advertising, but this is too much...I'm sorry that the DVR is ruining your business model, but can you kick the bucket a little more gracefully?"

Love how the interstitial comes about 2 seconds before the commercial break :(
