Ten minutes later, a new cluster 2 of commercials started. Five minutes later, the program resumed. During this part of the program, he saw three new commercials at the bottom of his TV screen. Then, a new cluster of commercials began. He said, "This is getting ridiculous. It's bad enough that we already get one minute of commercials for every two minutes of programming. But now, they're sneaking 3 in commercials during the program at the bottom of the screen." His son said, "That's the price you pay for free TV. But you ain't seen nothing yet.
