You know, for the first time, I think I'm glad the Florida legislature passed that bill moving the primary to the 29th. No ad spending is allowed here by either party.

Lucky bastard.

I think they come in 15 sec., 30 sec, or 1 minute blurbs. Repeated constantly.

Luckily, California has yet to be attacked (except on the ballot propositions)

Sounds like heaven, but I'm curious: how is that constitutional?

Why would you be getting US camapign ads?

I always watch the American stations. Usually Seattle.

Canada's main networks, CTV and Global, have brutal records with high definition simsubbing. Half of the time it's not in HD, 99% of the time it lacks 5.1 surround, they cut off the endings sometimes, etc.

Multitasking

When an annoying commercial comes on, ignore it, and go back to playing [fill in game].

Of course, sometimes I get so absorbed in the game that I ignore the show I was watching and have to go back to the recording to see what I missed.

I am glad that I haven't ever lived in a key primary/battlefield state. Although I do have to live with Kentucky Governor campaign ads. Dude, no one cares that someone bought computers that weren't made in-state! Other than those ads, I haven't seen any ads since midterms (for the House; we had no senate ads since Lugar was unopposed) when the ads were spammed.

Alright, I thought the TV/Radio was bad but this takes the cake.

I am fooling around with the gf this morning and her phone rings. We let it go to the machine and what do we hear in the background? "Hello, I'm Hillary Clinton and I want to talk to you about..."

Needless to say the moment was ruined. I know Democrats think everyone south of the Mason Dixon line are ignorant sub-human ape like creatures, but who actually thinks a recorded message on election day is going to change anyone's mind.

On my way home I heard my favorite campaign add yet. A Barrack radio add thats dialogue went something like this...

"Awwww you know it girl, that Barrack has his finger on the pulse of us black foke." "You tell it sista, wees finally have a candidate that knows how wees does it." "Thats right girl." "You better hurry up and eats those collards so we can go vote for Obama!"

Or something along those lines. I was actuallydumb struck. One hour until the polls close ...

You didn't steal that bit from Sgt. Landsman did you?
