    Have you ever noticed that all the Television stations carry the same story and even the same wordings. Admittally some have a slight twist but they seem all the same

Gteat thing about commercials on TV is that After tea I can prepare washing, next commercial saok dishes next commercial wash and drain next commercial dry and put away. then next commercial put the billy on next commercial prepare and drink said cuppa. If it is a very new popular movie can make love to my partner sorry too much detail

    lpullman says: Yup. Watch carefully - it's often the same footage and the "story" verges on advertising. That footage was supplied to the station as part of a press release, usually already cut for a spot,all the station have to do is wack their logos over the top and record a voice over from the supplied script. If you want to get your message across, make it as easy for the reporter as possible.

    I thought everyone new about this by now...
