Interesting Askville Questions:
I have a small space where I would like to put a television with a combination DVD player and VCR player. There are so many people buying very large screen televisions, but I need a small one. This could be a portable one also, but doesn't need to be. A 13 inch screen would be great, but I can't seem to find them. If you know of one, I'd love to have the information.
I often see two types of ads on my cable system. One set is by Comcast, telling us that as a Comcast customer we don't need converter boxes when broadcast TV goes digital. This is OK, but is on too often. What gets me is all the ads that tell you to call a number to get a coupon for a converter box. These ads are on cable (non-broadcast) channels. What are they thinking? The ads should be on broadcast channels. Some of these ads are government sponsored. What moron in our government would put ads (and pay for them) on cable that only have meaning to non-cable users. Are they hoping that the people who don't have cable are watching TV at my house?
What are the most blatant mis-statements in TV commercials you have seen recently? Not counting political ads. There, everything is BS.
