    I'm watching Fox and I just seen an ad that said "Attention: Time Warner Cable subscribers! You could lose The Simpsons, Glee, some other show, and even the Super Bowl!"

    First of all, this never happens in Canada. Second, who gives a **** about losing Glee?
    Time Warner is too pissy, they already did this with some other channels a few months ago.

      Oh, it looks like this issue is with a local TV station owner, not with Fox directly. That probably explains why I hadn't heard of it before. Of course that doesn't explain why you'd be hearing about it in Canada.

      At the end of the year, Time Warner Cable's deal to carry TV stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group expires. Sinclair owns 57 stations around the country including 20 Fox affiliates, many of which operate in markets where Time Warner Cable has systems. Like the big broadcast networks, it wants Time Warner Cable to pay to carry its local stations in cities such as Buffalo, N.Y.; Dayton, Ohio; and San Antonio.

        Ah, people are so funny.

        I work in pricing for Pepsi...I've asked for 2 months for pricing for several select accounts -- I get nothing. I send an email to these people yesterday that if it's not in by Friday morning -- your accounts won't be getting any pricing next year.
        ...

        Voila, I have all but literally one of my account's pricing by day's end today.

        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

          I don't care what anyone says, Two And A Half Men is hilarious.

          I'm probably hearing about it because we get the Rochester Fox station.

              Not nearly as much, because my love for my teams is way stronger than my hatred for the Lakers. Though, I threw my remote at the TV when Horry hit the 3 against the Kings.

                    Pepsi is terrible. I used to drink it a ton when I was little, but surprisingly I was able to put it down and I haven't drank it for the last year or 2. I don't even miss it tbh.

                    I do still need to start drinking water a hell of a lot more often though.

                      Yeah, that would explain it.

                        I seriously think I might be addicted to it. Nothing compares IMO

                          Even though I don't drink either, Coke is better IMO. As long as it isn't warm of course lol.

                            The worst I've done is kick a chair breaking several toes and slicing my foot open requiring a lot of stitches. It was the '03 Alabama/UT game that went into 5 OT's.

                              I think Coke is pretty good. But something about Pepsi


                              Also, have you seen that Mountan Dew commercial with the 2 guys talking how they got eagle tattoos since they have been drinking it? Well, I was wondering.. When they did the casting call for that commercial, did they say "We are looking for a woman who looks like a bird. Preferably old." ???
