    , Steve ... although I'm surprised that the ads slots lasted so long at such an ungodly hour, especially when - apart from catering for say, shift workers - it's not exactly a peak viewing time.

    Movies in Pinas have X10 more ad-breaks cramming in X10 more ads,load of crap to be honest,and why do they shout during 90% of the ads?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    'mean ... MY hearing isn't all that great - indeed, I often resort to using the subtitles in order to interpret what's being said during programmes. Not so, with the adverts, though ... I frequently need to turn the volume control down when they're on!!

    Pinoy TV is typical 3'rd world crap,never once watched a program and thought "That was great" nowadays its filled with Homosexuals showcasing themselves,"Celebrity families" cramming in as much exposure as possible lest someone try and steal their limelight,and shows they have copied from the west its total dross

    I tell a lie,pinoy TV did once make me smile when Kim Atienza was rushed to hospital with suspected dengue BECAUSE the simpering steve irwin wannabee had been advertising "Off" for months telling us each advertisement break just how good it was

    That's alright, though, Clarice ... at least you won't need to stump up a licence fee for an i-player.

    Agreed - there does seem to be a disproportionate number of uphill gardeners

    I once watched a program in Pinas,it was incredible,about teenage and pre-teen gays prancing around wearing dresses and being overtly feminine the presenter was positively crooning at how "Cute" the kids were They actually seem to promote homosexuality far,far more than the west on their TV,crazy

    I know the tv networks in the uk annouced that they where extending the ad breaks from 3 to 5 minutes. This is to increase revenue. It does make watching tv a pain though. What winds me up is when you get the opening credits to a show and then there is another ad break, like i can't go 60 seconds without some half arsed commercial catering to the lowest social demographic ramming some half baked product down my neck.
    It's been emontional
