Sometimes it really is all commercials all the time. FoodTV has taken on a
format in which many of its shows are nothing more than pure advertising.
Take "The Best Of." What company could want better advertising with a
guaranteed demographic? I strongly believe all those many hotels, inns,
web sites and other mom and pop companies fork over wads of cash to be
featured on those shows. I'd never boycott them for that reason mind you
but things like stealth advertising really frost my cookies.
