Recently the Comcast Corporation activated a feature in multiple cable markets on the set-top boxes that permits Comcast to display advertisements at the bottom of the on-screen program guide. These banner ads are intrusive, by not only reducing the number of lines that can be displayed in the guide at one time, but by also forcing the user's cursor to rest on the ad each time he/she advances to the next page.

As of this writing, the Comcast Corporation has declined to remove the ads, saying that it is not possible to do so on an individual basis. Further, their plan is to continue to roll out this "feature" to all markets in the coming weeks so that by early 2007 all Comcast customers will see them.

This petition asks Comcast Corporation to reconsider their advertising strategy with regards to their on-screen programming guide. We the undersigned respectfully request that the advertisements be removed on a system-wide basis, and in lieu of that, that a feature be added so that the ads can be removed on an individual basis upon request.

The signatures collected on this petition will be certified and then hand-delivered to the Comcast Corporation's headquarters in Philadelphia, PA.

I support this petition. I just came from DirecTV and I HATE the ads in the guide. I likely would have stayed with DTV if I\'d known the guide was this bad.

If you fucking have a problem with the comcast commercial, it's called NOT WATCHING TV! DUH. If you have such a damn problem, get off your lazy asses and do something about it besides complaining about it over the internet!

I support this petition. These ads they are shoving in front of my face, cluttering my screen are annoying, distracting and unwanted. I will avoid all the products advertised this way. We should have a opt out choice. Art.

We already overpay for the cable service, why the hell should we have to deal with even more adds too? I wholeheartedly support this petition.
