having just spent 2 weeks in Europe... watching British, Spanish, German TV... I can see that they are much more sensitive to advertising... Also, there just wasn't so much of it either at this point in time. While I didn't compare to see if a 30 min show was 22 minutes with 8 minutes of commercials, it was not in the same 7-8 minute bursts of show and then commercials.
German had the WERBUNG bumpers before the commercials and Spain had PUBLICIDAD.
Also the girls type phone chat stuff was topless nudity but only after 11pm.
