msnbc.msn.com — The three "MacGruber" sketches that aired on SNL last Saturday - one of which was aired during the Super Bowl - were actually paid Pepsi commercials. The segments weren't product placement, but commercials paid for by Pepsi and produced by "SNL." Though they appeared to be sketches on "SNL," they ran during allotted commercial breaks.

Depressed by their unerring inability to create one single show whose audience might make a phone booth look crowded, NBC now wants to insult and exploit what few viewers they already have.....And they wonder why people don't watch??Michael J. Austin,The Loquacious Limey
