Time Warner, Dewar’s Force Ad Views On DVR

1984_orwell.jpg

Apparently, Dewar’s and Time Warner Cable are in cahoots and have made a currently running Dewar’s ad unskipable during playback. Several Radar Online employees have reported their Time Warner CVRs simply refuse to fast forward through the ad. The unit will fast forward through anything else but not the Dewar’s ad. Can anyone say “1984 by George Orwell?”

UPDATE: Despite it occurring over and over among many peole, it’s just a technical glitch that has to do with fixed text on he screen for an extended length of time as in the Dewar’s commercial.
