When did this start?
I happened to open the AOL tv listings just now and I found that infomercials are actually listed now instead of just saying paid programming.

INFOMERCIALS!!???!!! Has it really gone so far that people NEED to know that Carleton Sheets, or Body By Jake is on?

I know, I know, everything is essentially infotainment these days, but come on!!!

1. do they list the "size matters" ones?
You know, the ones with the talk show format where they have all these porn people discussing the importance of the male member? I'd find it funny if they listed that one on AOL...

2. What would you want bet that it isn't paid for?
AOL is a declining idea. They have to make money somehow.

3. Their decilne couldn't happen to a more deserving company
Steve Case, their founder, is a huge right wing religinista. He's been big in all the causes that give most DUers heartburn and cold sweats.

I know that he's separated from the company now, but just the thought that all that money went to enrich these wingnut causes will forever make them my enemy.
