I can’t stand commercials. When I watch TV, there are no breaks, there’s a fade to black or a dramatic pause, then they return. Possibly in the same pose as before. On a real TV? Man, commercials take forever. I was channel surfing the other day and Spike (don’t look at me like that) was doing a Star Wars marathon. Sweet. So I flip on to Spike. Commercial. Okay, I can wait.
…
Commercial. Alright, that’s fine. Commercial. Ugh, really? So, bottom line, 60-90 seconds into watching Empires Strikes Back, I did not see any ESB. Such a shame.
Maybe I’ve just forgotten the uses of commercial breaks. Going to the bathroom, getting more food, conversing with friends… then again, there’s the pause button.
(Another thing, it’s not like there’s any delay from watching it online immediately after it airs and watching it on the West Coast as it airs. In fact, it might even be faster. Sheesh.)
