The thing is, I can see the execs now saying we need to mandate a reform in TV's so that people can no longer change channels when commericals come on, they are stealing revenue from us!
...and while they're at it, they need to make the TVs come with chairs that won't let you get up and leave the room when a commercial comes on. |

How about this? We could have it mandatory for viewers to watch at least 8 hours of forced television mind expansion. Sit down, strap yourself in (literally) and have the image sent directly into your retina.
Alternately I envision a eyelid restraint ala A Clockwork Orange that would work quite well. |

Hehe... just incase the majority of american's don't know here in canada they swap out american channels and their commericals and replace them with canadian channels. Your basicly forced to watch canadian TV even if you want to watch an american. The goverment says that it's to protect canadian identity...personaly...I don't like having anything rammed down my throat...as such I don't watch very much TV. |
