[Cialug] Des Moines Area ISPs

[n00b]

someoene needs to design a device that blocks commercials. i hate onmedia
advertising(looks so cheap and crappy). i also think they should put a
limit to the number of mobility/girls gone wild/infomercials that can be
on any given channel in a 60 minute period of time. commercials are almost
as bad as spam anymore.

sorry for the off topic
