You know how some TV channels have some times when shows aren't, you know,
showing. Instead they are showing some advertisements for THINGS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF.
Im not talking TV commercials, Im talkin when its about 1 AM, and you want to watch your fav channel. Whats on? Chances for some, PAID PROGRAMMING.
What do you think about this?

Discovery Channel is a prime example of this, before 8 (or something) AM, it's all paid programming for some random things, cleaning materials, cookers, etc. It's quite annoying, but I suppose they need the money...

Hey, at least they only do this late. I absolutely hate it when these stupid million hour long infomercials just repeating the same thing over and over again in the daytime. I've never seen these things on a channel that I actually watch, but it still irks me.
Actually, the ridiculous amounts of commercials that US television airs is just terrible. It's like, 3 minutes of the actual show right after 10 minutes of crappy commercials, then ANOTHER BREAK. Let me watch my effing show. D:< Just pump us up with 4-10 minutes worth of commercials between shows/episode parts like the Japanese do, but let us just watch the actual show during its air time. In those 10 minutes, American dubbers could actually bother to make minute long OPs and EDs rather than the 30 second pieces of trash that we get.

Alright, I'm done ranting. :3

I actually enjoy watching it. XD Once when I was on vacation, I had to sleep with my dad, and one thing you should know about my Dad, he snores...badly. So it was about 5 AM in the morning and I couldn't stand it any longer, I got up and turned on the television, and I watched thirty minutes of people advertising about some skin cream that's supposed to get rid of your acne. And then another thirty minutes of people advertising about markers called "Blendy pens", and then another hour of fitness. I actually enjoyed watching it. XD

I love them for some reason. XD; I saw this one for this weird grill thing, and the people explaining the product were horrible actors. They also had a tendency to repeat the same things over and over, and demonstrating the same things for about half and hour.

...You wonder why they need half and hour to a whole hour to describe a product at one in the morning when no one's watching. XD;

I love them and one of my favorite hobbies when I was younger was to wait till mid day every Saturday and watch them one after another, wishing I could get one. I eventually got one of those shavers (although it wasn't nearly as good as it was advertised, but it was useful), my mom got that suction cup that supposely could hold up a bowling ball but couldn't hold up her calender. I still wish I could've had that steam blaster to clean up the impossible.

It's fun watching them try to keep solving everyday problems.

Oh! Those... they advertise a "go duster". It upsets me each time we look at our cheapo store brought one. D: It doesn't even work. But seriously, they're really appealing. Though only the duster is appealing to me.

Ugh, they are annoying. I hate it when I wanna watch TruTV action and can't 'cause they're still talking about this awesome exercise machine...blech. As if regular commercials weren't bad enough!!

I totally agree! I think they should do this more, so companies can advertise more, but things like the Coco Pops advert is literally on all the time so you can say they actually don't pay for it. But I also find it annoying that you have to keep watching the same old adverts on the same old channel. Actually forget what I said then. :cheeky:

Blazeflare is right, but watching the same old TV advertisments is awesome, as I said, I love the Coco Pops one. *hums song* Don't forget the Pokemon Battle Dimension advert aswell, actually, I'm going to elaborate now while thinking of Pokemon...

Because some people watch Cartoon Network, or I dunno...they show this Pokemon advert which Jetix made. So...if another channel made this advert, will they have to pay?

I LOVE Paid Programming... except for weight loss stuff and acne medication. Only those fun ones where they demonstrate how well things clean or cook or whatever. I was watching one about a juicer the other day, it was great. XD

They can be fun if they're advertising things that look interesting. XD

I absolutely lovelovelove informercials. It's like my second favorite thing to watch on tv. Honestly, I've bought a few things from being convinced by an infomercial. One I haven't bought, but really want:
THE MAGIC BULLET!!!!
It looks soo amazing.
