I mean commercials just like on the small screen! Has this obnoxious practice appeared elsewhere? /* End of text from convexs:net.movies */ Hate to burst your bubble, but this has been common here since (at least) the '50's. That's as far back as I remember paying any attention to the commercials for local establishments. Now the national ads for "Bud" that have been appearing here for the last five years is fairly new... blues, II world's leading exopsychologist (If Carl can do it, I can do it)
