The other NBC channels do not have every sports live you have to watch online where the stream is laggy and the commerical happen randomly every 3 mins.

Well just to make sure that they have the correct information...her father is in the military (an airman) and is stationed in Afghanistan.

You have to be racist, for this to be considered racist.

Commercials are a big issue right now on TV because no one watches them. Almost everyone fastforwards through them.

On the web, many people filter them out using browser plugins. We're seeing a paradigm shift in the effectiveness of advertising.

I thought Phelps was fatherless when they keep showing Debbie without any guy next to her. Turns out he shows up to the games but prefers to be out of the spotlight. Good for him.

I guess NBC lives by the race card, and dies by the race card...
Even suggesting that this is in any way racist, or in any way says anything at all about the athlete who happened to be performing just before the commercial was run, is total jackassery. What would be tho point of such an asinine statement?
