TBS pause advertisements

TBS has started pausing TV shows right in the middle of the action to play mini-advertisements. Do not want. More information here:

Since TBS doesn't show anything but reruns anyway I'll have no problem avoiding that channel.

God, I remember this. I was just sitting back watching The King of Queens when this cocksucker pauses my fucking show to talk about his! I just about punched my TV!

It's been five years since I cancelled my subscription to Pay-TV. I was spending $65.00 a Month when I "Cut the Cord", today it would cost me $118.00 a month. (Theres talk it will rise to over $135.00 a Month next year). Folks, in the five years I've been without Cable I have used the money to save to purchase almost 30,000 Hours of COMMERCIAL AND POP-UP FREE TV Shows, Movies and Other Programming on DVD! It will take me over 20 years to watch them all!

I like how they follow up that awful ad with an equally awful ad for The Love Guru.

[uglyboyed]

what episode was it that they made fun of this?

[187SicknesS]

redneck humor just doesnt float in this day and age (unless its on a white supremacist website) thats why they had to resort to drastic measures, by pausing the low-brow comedy of family guy.

Also, if you pause some youtube videos now you'll hear an audio ad, and the worst part is they don't stop if you click play, they interrupt the audio of the video you're watching.
