ssurgul....and incestuous cross-commercial rape?
Ok, so not quite that bad, but I'm curious about Xfinity/Comcast. More and more lately the cable channels like Comedy Central, SyFy and others have been having their commercials chopped up oddly. Such as the commercials starting late past the actual start of the feed, cutting off the end of the commercial. I know it's not the commercial because at other times, the commercials are intact on the same network. And yet, I've noticed that while the Comcast/Xfinity commercials may be pure garbage (see talk of the football feeds on HD for reference) they don't seem to be chopped up or altered in any way. Isn't that odd. The network that hosts all these commercials is butchering the actual PAYING customer base while keeping their own commercial spots, which are free for the network use (at least internally speaking; moving money from one GL column to another is a wash), intact. Huh. I wonder why their sponsors put up with this kind of shit.
