a passing observation

An inventory of advertisements aired during the 00:35 break of an episode of The First 48 (warning: annoying flash video):

  • Promo spot for The First 48
  • A reality show about interventions
  • WalMart
  • Manwich
  • An IUD
  • KFC
  • CoverGirl makeup
  • Hebrew National
  • Extended auto warranties

I wonder what this says about their target demographic other than an apparent penchant for global megacorportations and annoying auto-play flash videos.
