After spending 2 weeks in the land of the free, all I have to say is WOW
Their TV really really sucks.
I could have told you that.Originally Posted by bondred
4 commercial breaks in one 20min episode of South Park!!! and I thought ITV was bad.
This is very true.
I do not even have tv anymore. I watch all my shows online. I ******* hate commercials.
One of them really made laugh though, an advert for Dominoes advertising a $10 pizza box, and says "you can get the $10 pizza box for only 10 bucks"
Really!!!!
This is why I DVR everything. The only thing I'll watch live is sporting events.
I can't really remember the last time I watched an actual commercial....
EDIT: Also, where'd you go while here in the States?
For it to be 4 commercial breaks you're obviously counting the one before the show starts and the one after it ends which doesn't make sense so really it has 2.
In America the ads have ads. This ad for Coca-Cola was brought to you by Pepsi
Did you get asked if you were irish a lot?
My dad is a scouser and gets asked if he is Irish ALL THE TIME!
Lots of fat men shouting about the sofas / cars / carpets they sell and claiming they're insane so you should get down there to take advantage of their madness?
To be fair, SP has 3. They do the theme song intro COMMERICAL first act COMMERCIAL second act COMMERCIAL end act.
Hope you had a great time, mate. I hope you missed our games.
Im crazy bonker carpets
Trust you to go to America and watch TV all day there.
I'd buy an I'm Crazy Bonker Carpet.
No not at all. South park opening credits start, as soon as the song is finished it goes to break, then goes to break about 8-10 mins in, then goes to break 5-8 mins after that, then goes to break just before the ends credits roll, they come back just for the end credits. I am not even counting the the adverts before and after the show.
Went to Florida
I missed all the games, they didn't show a single one unless you paid for it.Hope you had a great time, mate. I hope you missed our games.
I did have a great time. It is certainly an eye opener going to the states.

I remember you saying you were headed there. Destin, Fort Lauderdale, Miami? What did you get up to? Just beach holiday or did you do the Disney things?
If I was on Miami Beach I'd have my eyes permanently glued open...
Done the parks, Magic kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Downtown, Disneyquest, Blizzard beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Hollywood studios, Gatorland, Seaworld.
Never got the chance to go the beach or Miami, even though Miami was planned, we just didn't get the time
We can forgive you for missing Miami and maybe you can forgive yourself for missing Miami but your penis will never forgive you.
There were plenty of women at Blizzard beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Those were happy days!
What was the ratio of fatties to fit?
Probably 7/1 fit
I was surprised at how few mega fat people there were, maybe they can't afford Disney cos they are spending all their money on coke?
Sounds about right. Also, they probably can't fit into the rides.
Some of the rides actually say that certain "sized" people can't ride them.
I was on a quarter mission while I was out there, trying to collect all 50 states in 2 weeks. I got 49, Nebraska let me down
You mean like license plates, or meeting people from these states?Some of the rides actually say that certain "sized" people can't ride them.
I was on a quarter mission while I was out there, trying to collect all 50 states in 2 weeks. I got 49, Nebraska let me down
Also, Nebraska lets down all of America.
No, collecting the coins in my change, each state has it's own quarter, I got them all except Nebraska.
I'd love to go the US one day. Glad you had a good time.
