Stop the dumbass clipping

I'm tired of lame **** local commercials interrupting and ending with the last few words of a commercial or it taking 1 or 2 seconds of the program that I'm watching. It's annoying AF. Take down that *** please.

    It's not an issue with accounts because I see it as well.  There will be a commercial break, a series of commercials and the very last one is only a fragment of a commercial.  The fragment appears to be only the last few seconds of its normal runtime.  Conversely, the "interruptions" are commercials overriding the the last few seconds of a program.

    This wasn't a problem because people used to control dis-joining and rejoining a program.  Now it's computers setting hard breaks and controlling the timing.  People now just sit idly by and watch the computer countdown.

    I guess computers are cheaper than hiring people with orchestration skills.
