Are these videos supposed to be funny? The producers made a horrible selection. Pathetic.

After waiting 10 minutes for a clip to load, I'm leaving this site. I didn't expect that "60 minutes" actually meant 60 minutes.

Its totally unacceptable to have to watch a 15 or 30 second commercial to then get the "honor" of watching a lame video clip. I would be OK with a 10 second mini clip of a commercial nature, but NOT a full length one. I usually leave Yahoo! and go to Youtube to see the very same clip WITHOUT the advertising!
