Tell them you wish there was a channel that was nothing but commercials so parents could punish their kids with the television, instead of reward them with it.

I think there's a satellite channel that's nothing but commercials.

There is one in my cable package that is infomercials 24/7

Only one? My in-laws' satellite feed has at least 4 of those, if not more.

Wait.  I don't watch too much tv, so I don't know 'the ropes'.

I just tried to invent a channel that is as bad as imaginably possible.  And it exists?  And people watch it?

Infomercials are big business. How do you think Billie Mays was able to afford all of that cocaine?

The commercials are actually not as bad as most of the shows, it makes perfect sense to me.

We'd probably have more if we didn't have all of the French-speaking channels.  We have a lot of Frenchies living around here.

Infomercials are like commercials, but longer. Channels (Home Shopping Network, etc.) devoted to them are the sole domain of insomniac shopaholics who might possibly be interested in fabulous Princess Diana key fobs or Diamonelle jewelery or "simulated" anything, up to and including the Serious Skin Care Serious Colour 1-Year Celebration Kit With 1-Year Subscription to W Magazine.

In other words, people whose hands are permanently attached to their credit cards and whose asses are permanently attached to their couches. The biggest cabbages in the entire fucking patch.

A lot of the cable channels will stop programming at around 1 or 2 am and run the informercials non-stop until about 7 or 8 am.  The other ones just seem to run and repeat the same 3 hour block of programming into the night.

You learn and observe these things when you have a baby that needs to be fed in the wee hours of the morning. 

Also, fuck you Nielsen, I haven't been filling out my diary.  I need to hire an intern to do it.
