Title: ABC hopes to halt fast forwarding
Post by: Foxy Brown on July 13, 2006, 04:51:08 PM

Mike Shaw, ABC's President of Advertising Sales, said this week that he would love to have the opportunity to shut down the "fast forward" button on users' DVRs. Though he did not claim that commercial-skipping TiVo owners were thieves, Shaw is clearly unhappy with how easy it is to skip his network's ads.

Well, you know what Mike Shaw, you should sanction me. That's right sanction me with your army. Oh, I forgot, you don't got no army! I guess that means you just need to shut the **** up!

What next? Restraints so I can't take a whiz during commercial?  Eye clamps so I can't sleep?  Oh, wait!  I don't watch your network anyway!  Ha!

Seriously, maybe ABC's ad revenues suck because their shows do?
 
I don't expect him to have a lot of success.
