[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1609896, member: 63"] *shudder* In Atlanta, at least, there is this painful, seemingly two-minute long commercial that was advertising something like cable TV or something. It's like, "They're taking your money. We don't just think it's bad. We think it's [i]piggish[/i]." And then, out of a cable truck, jump a dozen huge swine, and . . . oh God, the memory *shudder* . . . and they start singing, "Who let the pigs in?" to the tune of Who Let the Dogs Out. If the add was 30 seconds long, I . . . I might not want to kill them. But it goes on, and on, and on, like they just thought it was hi-:):):):)ing-larious to show huge fat pigs running around a neighborhood, terrorizing families, while singing one of the most annoying songs ever. I'd, like, be watching Farscape at 4 in the morning, and this commercial would come on, and I'd change the channel. I'd come back in a minute, to make sure I didn't miss Farscape, and that bleeping commercial would still be on. It does seem as if Sci-Fi wants to drive viewers away from Farcape. I'd typically miss the first part of 3 or 4 segments a night, due to me changing the channel at that god-awful, pigpen, diarhettic slop of a commercial. However, I actually liked the Chilis commercials. The people were obviously having fun singing, and the music wasn't that bad. [/QUOTE]
