"Charlie Rose is sponsored by..." is a part of the actual tape. Those ridiculously-placed ads are a completely different source of revenue. There's no way they asked anyone @ Charlie Rose where to place those ads, because they put it over where he was introducing his first guest. Right while he's saying how fantastic she is, it fades to black and runs the commercial, then when it fades back, it doesn't return to the exact same place where it left for the commercial. Whatever else Charlie said about her is completely lost. I remember Charlie Rose being 99 cents per show on Google Video. I guess this is their way of making it free for the public to view, accepting outlandish advertising schemes like that. -- Bill C. http://ems.blip.tv
