Every once in a while I see a commercial start and then BUMP! it's
replaced by a different commercial, usually for Comcast (my cable

will be the last second or two of a different commercial.

Clearly Comcast is "pre-empting" national commercials and replacing them
with their own. Is this legal? Those companies have paid good money
for that time. Does Comcast have the right to just bump them out in
favor of their own ads?

One commercial that Comcast really likes to bump is the Enzyte ad
featuring "This Is Joe!" and his newly engorged male member. I don't
mind this at all; Joe and his goofy smile irk me.

I haven't noticed this.

Do you have regular cable or digital?
