OK, I realize these upper management jerks want to advertise their station. But give me a f***en break. If it's a regular station there are certainly enough commercials to pay for this. If it's a cable station, there are certainly enough viewers paying to watch the station.
My question is simple. Why??? But not only why???? Why so damn large ? Even I would probably not mind a tiny little logo in a monotone color on the screen. ( OK, maybe that is a lie ). But to put these hideous, colorful, letters with logos in plain site............give me a break..... Oh, and while I am ranting and raving about the logos, what about those stupid trailers for a new show that also come popping out ? This whole thing is so annoying. Sometimes I just put the PIP on my TV just so I don't have to see the logo. That can be fun, but also annoying.
I have googled some of this and see there are several law suits against the stations for doing just this. Don't think this is limited to TV's. Hey gang, look at your I phone or Blackberry when looking for something or on any free app and you will see ads and logo's there as well. It will never stop. I am waiting see a logo or an ad on the toilet paper the next time I change a roll.
I put the computer system on in my car and what pops out first ? Right......a damn Genesis Logo. The same happened on my Jag. What is next ? ? ? ? You can't watch porn without a short ad coming on first. Any news event video's on line have a quick ad first. Turn on your Mac and a big friggen Apple pops up.....I am waiting to turn on my microwave one day and after punching in the settings, seeing a big GE logo before it goes on.
Court TV had this "bug" as they are called for a long time, when I worked at the trial there was a woman suing them because her TV had a permanent burn from constantly watching the trial. Sometimes they move to avoid the burn in. The best cure for this annoyance it to simply turn off your television. That's what I did!
