Split Screens worsening...

(1/3) > >>

Kevin Prather:
I think it started today, or it may have been yesterday...

Now the split screens at the end of programs show the commercials much larger than before, with the show scrunched up more in the right.

Also today, during Whammy!, the split screen contained not one, but TWO commercials! a long one for NLFM and a short one for Cram.

Personally, I'd rather hear about Turtle Wax than watch a long commercial with Icey talking about 555-CRAM. I really think that commercial is a bust. I always knew this sort of thing would balloon into something bigger. It could really create cleavage between GSN and some viewers, who would rather keep abreast on who helped support our favorite show. Those boobs over at GSN are personally getting on my nerves. If they knocked it off, they could make some real bosom buddies. but at the risk of sounding like a total fart knocker, I'll end my rant here.

I know there are going to be people here who will say \"Who cares? Shut up!\" But i know there are some people here who agree with me that this is getting crazy.

My friend, may I suggest going into the glorious world of tape trading? At least in that endeavor, you can get what you want. I had just about given up on GSN becasue of things like this. Something may tickle our fancies soon, but for now, screw it. Like many others before them, they have catered to the mindless drones who will watch ANYTHING.

Kevin Prather:
well, lets not go too far. GSN isn't unwatchable. I just think the splitscreen is annoying. and i sure as hell ain't going into tape trading. do you have any idea how easy it is to get screwed with that? you send them a video, and you never get a video in return? or you get a blank tape in return?

While that is always a possibility, it's a very small one and most trades are very pleasant experiences.  Your extreme worst-case attitude is a little like saying you'll never drive a car because it's easy to get into an accident.

J.R.:
Lets see:

Number of Succesfull Trades: Over 50
Numbre of Screwed Trades: Zero

Not all traders are Dirty Rotten Cheaters (rimshot). But after the way you insulted every legit trader out there, I doubt you'll ever get any requests anyway.

Next time, watch what you say.

(PS: Did you know trading is the only way to watch shows like \"$ale\", \"$1MCoaL\", \"Davidson HS\", \"Classic Concentration\", etc.)
