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.

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.
