thank you, wcco!

so i'm watching the news, cringing during the commercials, wanting to run from the room to try to avoid a little of the negative campaigning. i don't know the last time i saw an advil or campbell's soup commercial - it's all political ads all the time. sickening to say the least.
anyway, so i'm watching the news tonight, and in the middle of all these negative ads, comes an unexpected reprieve. there on the screen is a picture of a cat sleeping. no words, no music, no noise. just a sleeping cat with the words 'political ad break' in the corner, and a timer lasting 30 seconds (and the letters of the station).
suffice it to say that it worked. for the next month, i will be watching channel 4 news. thank you so very much!
