In the third year of the Iraq occupation, Nightline has once again broadcast a recitation of the war dead on Memorial Day, including two commercial interruptions. I have said before that I don’t mind commercials, just their placement within the show.

For the record, here are the companies that broadcast commercials during that time. Stars indicate repeat offenders from 2004.

• Ford / Land Rover (automobiles) **
• Universal / Miramax (entertainment)
• Toyota / Lexus (automobiles) **
• Men’s Wearhouse (clothing) **
• Toyota / Lexus (automobiles) **
• Canon (electronics)
• Ford Lincoln-Mercury (automobiles) **

Note – I finally got around to viewing the show three weeks late.
