zkits Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I was just watching FX cable network when i heard a familiar riff. It was "Is That The Thanks I Get" by wilco. It was awesome!

BeatingHippies Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Haha you need to get on the volkswagon debate wagon. It's been pretty well discussed round here. The shocking part was that it aired 4 times during Rescue Me. During EVERY commercial break. Good thing I like the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unposed_question Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Clearly, I don't watch nearly enough TV. I have seen the commercial exactly once, during Memorial Day Weekend.Not once since then. What stations am I not watching? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should probably avoid reading the still-smoldering "More on the controversy" thread in this same forum ... 45 pages and counting, and that wasn't even the first thread on the subject.

What stations am I not watching? F/X rainman...well at least during Rescue Me...apparently VW is a sponsor. I saw it no less than 8 times in two hours.
