everytime the commercial for Zach and Miri Make a Porno comes on. I just want to watch a ballgame with my boy, and not have to explain to him what a "porno" is during it.

Kevin Smith is a pig.

I feel the same way about boner pill commercials. It's a sad day when a guy can't watch a ballgame with his kids without being asked what an erection is and why it should never last for 24 hours without seeking medical attention.

IN the Tour de France last year the enzyte commercial was on constantly and my ten year old used to walk around the house whistling the "bob" theme. I felt like a bad aprent, but not bad enough to stop watching it.

What you brethren need, is Tivo. Sometimes when watching a football game, I'll let it queue up and then watch it slightly delayed, fast-forwarding through all commercial breaks and timeouts.

On occasion when I'm not disciplined enough to do that, just pause when the commercial break comes up, and then zip through them 5 minutes later. Works like a charm.

That's funny. Like anybody could delay watching the Tour de France for 5 minutes.

Have it, but generally don't have the patience to wait during sporting events.
