I hope I never have to watch another race on TBS.

Have you EVER seen so many commercials in your life?

I thought broadcast TV was bad, but these people take the cake.

It is averaging a commercial every THREE Laps!

Pathetic.

Take note, Nascar.

You'll be begging for TBS after Fox gets their hands on Nascar next

Hi,
   A great race... between all of the extended interruptions to cover golf
and the tour de France! :(

Since racing is such a constant sport, I wish they could do what they do in
soccer (Futbol) and just show banner adds in the upper left, and then just
show the real commercial breaks during the caution laps.

But of course we are talking about the United States of America, the land of
capitalism.  You won't be able to find such thing for at least a decade
<vbg>.  Corporate advertising won't accept sharing the same TV space with
the event they are sponsoring.  They have to brainwash people with total
100% controlled 30-second spots :)
