Daily show clips on comedycentral.com

I don't have cable so I watch the clips of the Daily Show on the web. They put a commercial before each one. I find that really annoying but today I saw something that went straight past annoying into appalling with a huge twist of irony thrown in. The commercial was for the Army.

Am I the only one who thinks that's bizarre?

1. It's whoever pays the bills

If the US Army happens to be willing to take on that task, Comedy Central is more than happy to let them.

3. But you don't find it a huge disconnect

to place it on The Daily Show. I wonder what Jon Stewart thinks about following an advertisment for the Army.

2. Hmmm, odd

I watch the clips there too, but no ads for me.

I just get the clips, no ads. Can't tell you why, because I have no idea.

10. Yup

I just checked. Same site I use and this one had a commercial for t-mobile. Strange mystery, that. The person who stopped watching TV 18 years ago because of commercials moves to the net and is still plagued by them. Ugh.

6. I do regularly

It's on my favorites list but they don't list all of The Daily Show clips so sometimes I go to the source for my daily dose.

7. you can download entire episodes

if you know how to use bit torrents. maybe do a search for bit torrents to learn, and then do a search for daily show torrent to find a tracker.
