you think having a coke glass on the table is "excessive"? lol

I think it's hilarious how in britain they say BBC doesn't have any ads, but every time i watch BBC there are a million ads for BBC on BBC lol

That';s like saying if coke had a channel and they advertised coke, it's not really advertising because they are only advertising coke on the coke channel.
