Here's a good one for ya!! We recently were in need of a new Ultimate TV system, as the old one decided to quit recording. (microsuk BL0WS!!!) Well, they were kind enough to send us a new one pretty promptly,........ with an OLD OUTDATED access card in it!!!!! We had to call to get a new one. If any of you have a TIVO or any such tv device, you know that they make you promise to give them all your children in the event that you don't actually SIGN UP for their service. DUH!! No, I don't want the service, I just wanted a really big expensive door stop!! Well, we got the new access card and all has been well......... UNTIL we got a call the other day saying that we are in breach of contract, we never activated our account, and our credit card is gonna be billed. They didn't say how much!!!!!! The idiots were going by the information from the outdated/obsolete card!!!!!!! We got the credit card bill meanwhile, and you know how much we were charged!?!?!? OVER $300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WILL YOU PEOPLE PLLEEEEEEEEASE PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ARSES AND DO YOUR JOB!?!?!? I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO MINE AND YOURS BOTH!!!!!!!!      |

 I hate it when there is comercials on T.V. too much,These are all esimates. Sometimes when I watch a show, it will start with comercials for about 2 minutes, then the show will go on for about 5 minutes, then comercials for another 2 minutes, then the show stays on for 15 minutes, then there is comercials for 4 minutes then a different show, I don't like comercials that much. Do you dislike them? I think they are a waste of time, they could show allot more shows if they had less comercials. Once, I saw the same MacDonalds comercial 3 times right in a row, I know they advertise but I think they are just annoying, what do you think? |

| I can't stand ad breaks, but unfortunatley TV companies rake in s*#t loads of cash for having them, so the day will never come when they're abolished. I just hope abc & sbs don't start using them. |

| It's a mixed-bag for me. I too get miffed when I settle down to watch a programe that's inundated with commercials, but then again, sometimes I'm actually pleased to see them, for no other reason then a chance to take a 'nature break', or slap the jug (pot/kettle?) on. |

| [SIZE=3]I totally agree with you tony, there are far to many breaks on TV. I especially hate it when you are watching a movie and they take a break for half and hour so they can show the news  The worst advert break over here in the UK is on SkyOne, there is a break every 10-12 minutes and it's abit of a pain when im watching 'Fear Factor' because they take a break in the middle of a stunt It's good to watch movies on the Sky/Cable movie channels because these channels are sensible and don't have breaks  [/SIZE] |

| Most adverts suck. Here in the UK during the day time half the adverts are for insurance and ‘personal injury claims’ companies: Typical example: (only slightly exaggerated honest!) Some stupid obese women sits down at work and her chair collapses under the weight – she contacted our hotline and our scumbag ambulance chasing lawyers managed to rip-off the company she worked for several thousand pound! Some muppet was working with hot tar and was too lazy and stupid to carry it properly, so he ended up tipping it all over himself – he contacted our hotline and our scumbag ambulance chasing lawyers managed to rip-off the company he worked at for serious amount of dosh! If you are greedy, stupid and want to propagate a society that sues everything that moves (and a lot of things that don’t) – then simply call 0800 – BULLSH!T and our fraudulent ‘experts’ guarantee they’ll be able to fabricate a claim whether you have one or not. Everybody is doing it – why shouldn’t you? Call Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr – all that crap really toasts my teacakes! |
