Yep, those are snipes during the HD broadcast. The CW is the first fucking broadcast network to put snipes on their HD broadcast. They did two snipes after each of the five commercial breaks. Notice how extremely large they are. Those damn snipes are sized as if they were being displayed on a NTSC analog TV. Idiots, the lot of them.
They deserve the term assholes. I want to watch the program, not those damn snipes. Obviously the idiots didn't watch the Emmy telecast.
BTW, if you think I am pissed, you are 100% correct.
Dawn has been committed for allowing the CW bug to be large and obnoxious, as well as being located in the wrong place on the screen.
Plus she allowed those damn snipes to appear on the HD programming.
The stupidity at The CW has gotten worse. That snipe is fuckin' large. There is no damn reason for snipes in the first place and definately no damn reason for them to cover this much of the show.
Stupidity at its best.
How can the fuckin' idiots at The CW possibly think the the large and ugly bug and the type along side it is going to please viewers. Oh, I'm sorry, viewer. They've driven two of their three viewers away with this crap.
Listen up you numbskulls at The CW, the CW bug is large and in the wrong place on the screen, and to add large text to the left of it just adds insult to injuy. It is an HD image, not a SD image that this crap is being displayed on.
Do your single viewer a favor and can this crap before you have no viewers left.

On March 11th, and during the Sunday repeat, the idiots at The CW placed the above two ugly sprites in the video. Ya I know, nothing new. What is new is that these sprites were placed FOUR MINUTES into the last segment. Not right after the break, but well into the segment. And I thought that they couldn't get any more stupid over at The CW. I was proven wrong again.
On Feb 26th, the idiots decided that their single viewer just had to see that big ugly opaque sprite announcing Beauty and the Geek. Of course, they just had to have the idiotic text over the top of the bug that is in the wrong place in the HD video.
On January 28th, The CW ran their Gossip Girl Revealed special.
If you watched the show via NTSC analog, you saw a letterboxed image of the "revealed" bits. OK, that's expected if the material was in HD, even though the show itself is full screen.
But, if you watched it via HD, you were treated with a video image that was letterboxed and pillar bar'd. Yep, the HD version was the SD version upconverted.
What the hell is wrong with these people! Shoot the damn thing in HD (widescreen) and show it in HD (widescreen). What was presented looked like crap on the HD screen.
Look at all that ugly, large, crap, that is cluttering the screen. This shit has got to go.
Least we forget, 90% of the time, when the snipes aren't on the screen, and the opening credits aren't being displayed, there is always text above the bug. For example:
Sigh! Idiots, the lot of them.
Starting 7/07/08, the stupid fucking idiots at The CW started putting up scrolling banners that last 1:22. Interesting that they had nothing to say during Reaper.
Get rid of this fucking crap. We don't want it on our screens!!!!
On 7/14/08, the stupid fucking idiots at The CW replaced the scrolling crap with even worse crap. They just do not seem to understand that we hate this shit.
Here is what Vampire Diaries would look like if the bug and shitty snipes didn't exist.
