SNL is going to cut two commercial breaks from their show next season. -- nm - Mop Apr 27, 15:00 9

- They desperately need to do this with their clickbait network, MSNBC. -- nm - Max Apr 27, 15:01
- (buried the lede) and add branded content -- nm - ty97 Apr 27, 15:00 5
  - what does that mean? -- nm - Pippy Apr 27, 15:43 4
    - Think of the cigarette ads that show hosts used to do in the middle of shows, just done more subtly. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 27, 15:43 3
      - In other words, to replace the ads they cut, there will be paid ads embedded in the show, but not in the classic form of ads. - ty97 Apr 27, 15:45 1

  - Yeah, it is becoming too much effort. With the limit you have to enter for weeks before you can get anything :/ -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 27, 15:23 2
    - nm but JB: - b. Apr 27, 15:29 1
      - I see. Hmm.. I wonder if they will just credit them all at once and thus bypass the limit. That would be nice. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 27, 15:31
- 10 years of MCR already? -- nm - Mop Apr 27, 14:57 2
  - Well strangely it says I have been a member since 2003... so should me more than 10 years. But crazy that it has been going on for such a long time. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 27, 15:07 1
    - I pretty much stopped entering points. Don't have that much time and the limits are really annoying. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 27, 15:08

  - I don't know if I quite believe things like those Utah numbers as of yet - Reagen Apr 27, 14:24 10
    - [deleted] 1
      - Trump's already spectacularly unpopular, and the more he says, the more he turns off people outside the party - Reagen Apr 27, 17:13
    - It's not so much that Clinton will win UT, as Trump will lose it. -- nm - landbeck Apr 27, 14:35 4
      - Oh I realize the why of it, it just seems a bit difficult to believe the the most red state will turn that far. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 14:37 3
        
        just fyi, I think that's actually wyoming - utah and idaho are way up there, though. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 14:43 2
        
        UT was 73-25 last time. - Reagen Apr 27, 14:51 1
        
        oh, I was going by the recently discussed reps vs. dems percentages. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 15:19
    - I want to believe that is true. I want to believe that Trump will energize an opposition and increase turnout to vote against him. -- nm - TWuG Apr 27, 14:30 2
      - I have to think that whatever turnout he drives an increase in will be met and hopefully exceeded by a counter increase. - Mel Profit Apr 27, 14:32 1
        
        even against the best GOP nominee, all Hillary had to do was hold serve in the states Obama won in 2012 - dj fingerblast Apr 27, 14:34
