I can't believe I just found this thread. I was just about to start a thread bitching about a specific commercial. How convenient.
Anyway, it was a commercial about stealing cable featuring Bob Costas and he tells the viewer that "if you are getting cable without paying you are stealing" and then implores people who are stealing cable to go to their cable company and start paying for it. A few observations:
1. By now, does anyone who is stealing cable not realize it? Honestly, they have been shoving this crap down our throats for decades, surely no one could be dim-witted enough to not realize that you don't get cable for free.
2. If you are stealing cable, there is surely a reason for it, i.e. no money, some sort of silent protest about high cable rates, etc. Will any commercial paid for by the cable company persuade you to start paying for cable?
3. Bob Costas. Bob FUCKING Costas! This is the fuck that they use for this commercial? I don't steal cable, but just watching and listening to this arrogant, patronizing twit trying to talk people out of it makes me want to cancel my service and start to steal it.
