That's one reason I ditched cable years ago. Why the hell should I pay Comcast for the "privilege" of watching commercials?

Fun fact, Mythbusters episodes have a longer international edit length because America has substantially longer commercial breaks.

My attitude is if I'm paying, I'm not watching a single ad.

If it's free you can send me ads.
