    Re: "... any ads ... critical of ... cable industries ..."

    Some satellite service is running ads which make lots of fun of cable TV in general. In it, either Ed Begley Jr. or somebody who looks just like him sits at the head of a meeting table.

    The reason I bring this half-remembered ad up is that it would count as applicable to Glenn's letter. I don't have Comcast, but other readers who do have Comcast might know if these ads are running.
