    I know this is a really late response, but in my part of Kentucky, Comcast gets horrible reviews.

    The future Mrs. CK2 had me check on TV/internet providers for when we start living together -- getting married May 31 -- and Comcast was the worst, by far, of the big four that I checked (No. 1 Direct, No. 2 Dish and No. 3 is Brandenburg Telecom, only they don't come out to the house).

    Comcast sucks. So does its commercial.

    I know the Masters is a big deal to CBS, but do they have to subject us to the same spots by Jim Nantz in fucking January?

    One of the dumbest ideas in marketing this year...and I'm confident in saying that next December.

    This is for people who record those dumb house and reality TV shows that all have marathons on the same day.

    The same people who are more worried about their TV than their dog getting eaten by some animal

    I miss my UVerse, which let me record four at once. Recording two at once costs me something pretty regularly.

    Or you're like me with three kids and a wife and we all want to record different things and don't want conflicts.

    You mean the same company that thinks rebooting the Dart is cool?

    I know it's tax time, but I'm already fed up with all the commercials -- especially the (I think) Jackson-Hewitt spot with the song "This is how we do it" playing.

    Those kids in the AT&T wireless commercials are pretty damn annoying. I wish the Wendy's girl would return with each new ad a little bit fatter. (In the radio division, nothing is worse than 1877KarsforKids. Not sure if that's just a northeast thing, but the radio goes mute with those first couple of chords)

    Just saw a commercial for "The Call" a movie with Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin. I wanted to know more about it, but they only put the website up on the commercial for a half second and it was really small. Googling "The Call" got me lots about the band. Googling "The Call movie" got me a movie about the dangers of smoking. I had to rewind my DVR, pause the commercial, then type in the movie's website.

    Way to market, dickbreaths.
