Broadcast television is so fucked

I wasn’t going to watch 30 Rock, but I accidentally saw an advertisement this weekend, and it was funny and self-deprecating. OK, they aren’t taking themselves too seriously, maybe I can watch this after all.

Someone pointed me at the NBC web site so I could watch the other ads, but something strange happened. Here I am, visiting the NBC web site for the express purpose of consuming their advertising — this is a TV executive’s wet dream, am I right? So I click on one of the ads, and what do I get? Before I get to see the feature — seriously, that is how they referred to their ad — I had to watch another ad for a goddamn car.

Fuck. That. Shit. Close the window, go to hell.

These assholes are so detached from reality it makes my head hurt.

    You got television? Our here in the country, we just play with sticks.
