Sordid after-hour tales for the low price of $200/hour

[fredericks]

I'm up at four in the morning after awaking from an attempt to sleep off the sore throat/fever thing I seem to have developed over the course of yesterday evening (result: decidedly unsuccessful). I head downstairs to make a cup of tea and indulge in toast slathered in lingonberry sauce, and flick on the TV to waste time as I munch away. Sportscenter isn't on yet, so I end up flicking back and forth between Code Blue on Discovery Health and Surviving the Impact 3 ("3"?) on TNT, or whatever the hell channel 3 is on NYC Time Warner Cable. It's either TNT or TBS. Anyway, Impact goes on commercial so I flick back to Code Blue. After a couple of minutes on Code Blue I get bored and go back to Impact...and am greeted by two bouncy silicon-perky completely bare breasts. It would seem that after 4:30 is prime time for local escort services to advertise on TNT/TBS. Trust me when I say I don't have a problem with bouncy perky bare breasts (hmm - I should have found a "b" word substitute for "perky", right?), but this is noteworthy because a)I was expecting more video footage of people "miraculously" making it out of fucked up accidents, not b) well-lit softcore porn (there was everything but visible penetration, folks) advertising "Hot Asians" , and c) the audio soundtrack for Impact and all the "regular" commercial programming was still playing. Who knew?

And again, with non fucked up HTML:

... "buoyant"?

Toby's face in the icon? More or less the way I was when I first caught site of it all. Niiiiiiiice. :)

I wonder if it was a mistake of the master control operator...or the switcher...splitting the audio/video. If you were seeing nakedness, I'd definitely say that was it. Some operators get bored with their programming and will watch other stuff on different banks of their switcher. We shouldn't, because that means it's only a second away from going on the air.

When I worked at a PBS affiliate, the operators there once were dubbing some porn one morning, and one guy had it on the preview bus on the switcher...and forgot when he went to roll a break after sesame street...and put a few seconds of that porn on the air. I think there were some surprised kids that day...

I was thinking it might have been an error like that too, but it didn't play for a couple of seconds. I shut off the TV and returned to my bed after a couple of minutes and it was still on. There was at least ten minutes playing, and it was nothing but advertisements for escorts/call girls with local numbers. I'm thinking it was intentional.

Is the escort services thing just an NYC Time Warner Cable thing? Because I'm pretty sure we don't get that in the good ol' City of Sorrows here. No, instead Fidelity gives us crappy local commercials, which are the most God-awful commercials I've ever seen, and they looked like they were put together in an 8th grade Media Communications class or something. Ugh.

I think it's a NYC Time Warner thing (the escort agencies were advertising with local telephone numbers), and I'm thinking it's a one time thing, although I haven't been up at 4:30AM another night to confirm whether or not that's so. The commercials were straight up porny, yo. I was surprised. You know, expecting to see old people rolling around on Hoverrounds and, HELLO, boobies.
