You know those adverts after the 10 minutes of ads that go 'this programme sponsored by ...' (usually a topping lite pizza company or online poker provider) ? They last a only a second or two, can't be that expensive.
Couple this with your butler who scans the Radio Times for your tv viewing.
Once
Jeeves has booked the ads and retired for the night, settle down with the brandy and start watching ...
"This programme sponsored by .... Turn back to the discovery channel for the last segment of 'when lions make friends'"
"'When lions make friends' was brought to you by ... BlackAdder starts on 7".
How are the rich handling the recession?

"This idea was brought to you by ... wake up UB !" |
|
| |
There, now everyone saw that. |
|
| |
Even I saw it... now, what the hell are you talking about? |
|
| |
I think it's an idea for a sort of automated (or at least, "Butlerised") channel-hopping device that does what many of us already do when the program we're watching cuts to the ads. |
|
| |
I read it as meaning the exact opposite, z_t. I think it's channel hopping in order to avoid the programs and just watch the adverts. Either that or something else. |
|
| |
I like a lot of the ads but then this is the UK. simples. |
|
| |
btw does anyone know where I can get some of those pirate pencils that chatter in the ad just before Corrie? |

"Ask your physician if meerkats are right for you" |
|
| |
I guess you need to read the whole idea to get it. The key is the last sentence of the first para - your butler places ads on the tv (so that everyone sees them) that direct you to a channel with something worth watching. |
|
| |
Ahh, the penny drops. So, reminders for thick people about which channel they want to watch next. Sounds like quite a good idea actually. |
|
| |
Rich people don't usually watch much TV, unless it's the stock report or the news. |
|
| |
But they need reminding of when they are right? |
|
| |
Oh. I was expecting adverts for more upscale products, scaled to your income level. (link) |
