Disadvantages of TIVO
Disadvanatages, you say? How could that be? Indeed, proving that this is a fallen world, not even TIVO is perfect. It could, for example, cause you to miss this Starbucks ad, promoting their double expresso, which depicts Glen, a non-descript cubicle jockey who, after taking his double expresso shot, is joined in his kitchen by the 80s rock band Survivor. (Yes, it's the real band.) The band then follow him to work, playing a personalized version of Eye of the Tiger:
Glen! Glen, Glen, Glen!Fotunately, RAD is here to make sure you don't miss it, 'cause it is hi-larious.
Glen, Glen, Glennnnnnnn
Glen is the man, going to work,
got his tie, got ambition.
He knows one day he just could become . . . Supervisor!
On the other hand, maybe TIVO IS perfect. By providing the ability to skip commercials, TIVO is likely encouraging advertisers to make their commercials funny enough to actually be worth watching. Like this one, and the Trunk Monkey. So support the cause, and go get a TIVO.
