I just got a 15 second preview ad for the first time on youtube. I really, really hope this is not the beginning of a trend.

all CBS videos have ads. they've had them for awhile now actually. i'm sure other channels will probably add them too... Sad

Yeah, I got 25 seconds of a lady brushing her teeth with Oral whatever, whatever.

I actually do find the mashup pretty funny, but yeah... I guess it would be pretty inappropriate for kids.

I laughed at it, but this is something that should be on SNL or MAD late at night.
