    I am sorry, but how blatant was that Midol ad the other day?  Are they that hard up of sponsors??

    We haven’t seen one of those in a while.  Last one I remember was during a scene with Max and Chelsea when he’s bartending at the Cheatin’ Heart and suddenly mentions Tyson chicken nuggets… he whips out a box from behind the bar!  So dumb!!!

    I saw the Midol ad too.

    Sad…

    Isn’t it enough that there are commercials between the scenes?  Now it’s permeated the actual show too.

    Not impressed.

    our show in Europe!  There are 15 full minutes of commercials every half hour rain or shine!  No wonder they can take the time to make such good sandwhiches!

    I guess I’m in the minority here, but it doesn’t bother me.  Now I am still way behind and haven’t actually watched that scene, but I totally understand the need for these types of ads.  I dvr the show every day, and ALWAYS fast forward through the commercials.  Even on night time tv, I deliberately start watching a show 15 minutes late so I can ff through them!  And let’s face it, it is the paying sponsors who keep our shows on the air. 

     And this isn’t the first time a product like this was used.  It was either Midol or Pamprin one time before that Chelsea? and Stephanie? were talking about.   I also remember someone bringing a magazine into to someone in the hospital and saying something like "I brought you Magazine A to read.  It has a great article on B."  I thought it was pretty clever.

     And does anybody remember the mop contest?  I don’t remember details but you were supposed to spot the mop to win something.
