Why would anyone want to watch commercials nonstop?

The logic would be better if they'd advertise the commercials only on that channel and remove them from the others. :D We don't pay close to $50.00/mo to see 40 minutes of commercials an hour... :mad:

Hallucinogenic drugs

It'd be like an eternal nightmare....you flick onto a channel, waiting for the ads to stop in order to see what's on.....but they never do.

Believe me, TV is the last thing you'll want to be watching if you do hallucenogenic drugs.

Now if they moved every commercial on TV to that channel, the viewing experience would be much better :).

I like watching to see what areas of the paint will start to dry out first, and then noting how the color shade changes, makign the painted surface into a panoply of strangely shaped blotchy patches that are slwoly expanding.  I'ts like watching some creepy mold grow, you never know just which way it will start to go next.  Of course, that's only until you figure out that it's drying that way ebcause certain parts are thinner and dry faster, then you can start predicted how it will dry next.  Of course, inevitably some critic will show up to point out the lack of surface preparation and how the paint will start to peel and bubble after only a couple of years and ruins the whole experience by blathering on....




.....but then, anything is better than commercials.
