I hate TV "pop-up" ads. ?In an already cluttered TV screen, they make
it almost impossible to enjoy the viewing experience.

I know that they can be stopped on computers with the right software.
But can "pop-ups" be stopped on TV?

I believe that we can't stop them now. ?But what happens when the
digital conversion starts next year? ?Will there finally be a way to
put an end to this useless clutter?

If there is, I would buy that new technology in a heartbeat!

After network "bugs", reality shows, "pop-up" ads, instant
cancellations, and the writers' strike, I may finally just give up on
"regular" TV altogether. ?At least, some TV series are available on
DVD without all these intrusions.

Excuse the rant. ?But the latest intrusion was just about the last
straw!

I was watching a program where a lovely young woman was trying to get
an emotional point across to her boss. ?During this intense moment,
some tiny figures (from another series) suddenly strolled across the
screen, searching for something. ?One of them stopped and was
apparently staring at her cleavage!

If I wanted interruptions like that, I would be watching re-runs of
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000. [VOMITS]

See that's why I don't watch TV anymore. ?I wait for shows to come out
on DVD and THEN I watch 'em. ?For one you don't get any pop-ups and
****, you can also watch them on your own time and you don't have to
wait a week or more to see what happens next and best of all you know
if a series is worth investing your time into...meaning that you can
wait to see if it's actually going to last more than one season (or
less). ?I mean you wouldn't want to start reading a book if the author
just got bored and stopped writing it half way through, would you? ?It
really does pay to wait. ?*nods*
