    Does anyone else remember back in the days of VCR, the networks wanted to push a technology that disallows you from fast-forwarding through ad breaks on the stuff you recorded?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

        I guess, technically yes. Does that mean I have to specify that I am in no way endorsed by or representing Pepperidge Farms and that I cannot attest the quality of their products because they are not offered in my country (or at least I haven’t seen them)? Is that The Way It’s Meant To Be Played?

          Is pepperidge farms a real product? I thought it was a Simpsons reference.

          Now I hope they were the ones behind the meme.

      I also remember when TiVO got their asses temporarily handed them by ReplayTV, which didn’t even record the commericials!
