CBS Coming to the Produce Aisle

smooth wombat writes "In the continuing struggle to capture viewers, CBS is pairing with SignStorey Inc. to provide short-form programming designed specifically for shoppers on topics such as health, nutrition, as well as short news and sports items and entertainment. This programming will be displayed on video screens in the produce and deli sections of 1,300 supermarkets nationwide. Virginia Cargill, the CEO of SignStorey, said CBS will provide 1-2 minutes of programming for each video loop that appears on the in-store monitors. Each loop consists of about 8 minutes, half of which is advertising."

    I once got so fed up with a couple of nattering bints who completely blocked the aisle, I picked up one of the carts, and moved it aside. That shut their traps.

    Yes, people really are rude in supermarkets, aren't they? You remind me of the guy on the freeway who gets right behind you and flashes his lights. Road rage in the supermarket aisles! You need to slow your ass down suckah.

    My point is that when somebody appears "less intelligent" than you, by which I presume you mean they drive differently, instead of getting angry, you can simply be a bit more patient.

    Anyone who hogs the middle lane is automatically less intelligent than the person flashing lights behind them.
