With DirectTV, you get (almost) all games. I think they're still subject to the NFL's asinine blackout rules.

I have a friend who has DTv and the football package. I believe that if a game is available on your local station, you have to watch it there. I'm pretty sure he can see all the games. I'm going over there today and I'll ask him.

I'm terrified of those Western Skies payday loan commercials. Those Native Americans want to steal the gently caress out of your money, and they make no bones about it.

You gotta admit it takes balls to tell you to your face that it'll cost $11k to borrow $2.6k.

Pfft, they can charge whatever they want. I just need some money now so I can get back into that casino and I'll make a hundred times that back.

If your TV is your computer monitor, then I can accept that. As long as it's not a ridiculously enormous one :argh: The only people in my view who absolutely need a 36'' monitor are the people who do big-rear end animation on the scale of Devastator from Transformers: Rise of the Fallen.

Or maybe that's just penis monitor envy because mine is comparatively tiny and even if I wanted to upsize, I can't because there's almost literally no room to do so :smith:

Bask in my 32" of glory! I use the computer sprawled out on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table using a wireless mouse and keyboard. I'll probably replace the tv at some point with a 40" LED. I don't sit 6 inches from the goddamn thing.

My dad, on the other hand, does. :negative: 28 inch flatscreen HDTV that he's repurposed for his own personal monitor. Sits right on his desk, where he sits less then a foot away from. This is the man who yelled at me as a child for sitting too close to the television when Bugs Bunny was on. :downs:

Has anyone seen that new terrible Kia commercial? The one with the hamsters and robots dancing? My dad works at a Kia dealership and they got an email from someone complaining about how it shows a post-apocalyptic setting and how "they should be ashamed of themselves". It's an awful commercial, but Jesus. Come on, people. :psyduck:

What the hell? The hamsters bring peace with their kicking cool jams? How could anyone be opposed to a post-apocalyptic setting? I mean, how many video games and movies have used that as setting.

The only thing I can think of is that is some fundie who equates the post-apocalypse with the Great Tribulation. That or a nutbag who thinks of the rape scene from The Road Warrior is all that would happen in the collapse of human civilization.

Those Virgin mobile commercials that make fun of the T-Mobile commercials with the girl in the pink dress are so ridiculous and insulting to the audience. They're literally just, "HEY THOSE T-MOBILE COMMERCIALS ARE STUPID LET'S GO PARTY. YOU KNOW VIRGIN MOBILE IS AWESOME CUZ WE'RE PARTYING." The T-Mobile commercials aren't the best ads ever but a least some people put a modicum of effort and creativity into them instead of just, "uhhhh I dunno have them party or something. Okay who brought the coke?"

It also makes it painfully obvious who Virgin Mobile is losing their market share to.

e: it's also really weird how mean they are to the T-Mobile girl. She's not Sally T-Mobile, she's just some actress who took a job.

I checked with my friend and he said he is not subject to the blackout rule. If a game is on a local channel, you will be directed to that channel, otherwise, you'll see it on a package channel.

What I don;t understand is why the fake T-Mobile girl is holding a cupcake in one of the commercials. She's never had a cupcake in any of the real commercials...

Just saw a KFC commercial acting all :smug: about how other restaurants make chicken nuggets and "where on a chicken is a nugget?". The commercial then proceeds to advertise popcorn chicken.

Where on a chicken is the "popcorn", exactly? I know later in the commercial it says that it's "100% premium breast meat", but still. It's the same thing, you pedantic jerks :argh:

Actually, it's not. Their popcorn chicken is more like small pieces of chicken strip, you can see the fibers of the meat in it. Just cut up pieces of breast meat. It's not "processed chicken" that is basically scraps that is mechanically removed from bones like nuggets.

I'll tell you why this should drive you crazy: When a good many of us were youngins, 100% premium breast meat was the furthest ingredient from popcorn chicken. Seriously. You were lucky if the fried skin you were eating contained ANY chicken. Old-school KFC popcorn chicken was essentially a box full of chicken skin kernels.

Nuggets aren't mechanically removed from bones, they ARE bones. After they take all the good, edible cuts of meat off the chicken and sell them to people who don't hate food, they then shove the remaining carcass in a blender and blend until it's a smooth paste. Then they add some chicken "flavoring", form them into nuggets, bread them and cook them. Et voila, chicken nuggets!

Mcdonald's nuggets are pretty clearly real white meat unless they are able to fake it somehow. They did just switch to using white meat from gray processed msm meat a few-5 years ago though. They were disgusting before and I never would touch them.
