BAN-ner The TV.....

   Lately I'm getting sick of TV. No, not the programs. It's those freaking banners at the bottom and sometimes the sides of the screen interrupting a show I want to see promoting a show I never want to see. If I'm watching something about Charlemagne, do I need to know about an all new season of American Chopper?
   These banner ads cover up subtitles in foreign films and obscure key clues on mystery shows. And once, during the somber film Saving Private Ryan, a Day-Glo green banner unfurled featuring the cast of "Glee". And I wondered, Why are you doing this now when we;re invading Normandy Beach?
   Please give us a break and stop with the banners or at least make them appropriate for the program that you're watching. And my heart goes out to the people who have to use the closed captioning service.
