Yep, that is a great story. Thanks for posting the link, theknife!

Quote:
Kellner [CEO of Turner Broadcasting] on bathroom breaks:

"I guess there's a certain amount of tolerance for going to the bathroom. But if you formalize it and you create a device that skips certain second increments, you've got that only for one reason, unless you go to the bathroom for 30 seconds. They've done that just to make it easy for someone to skip a commercial."

Here, of course, he is referring to the ReplayTV 4000, which can skip forward in 30 second increments and has already been sued (basically, using Kellner's theory). Of course, note that there is only "a certain amount of tolerance." Go to the bathroom too much and you are a thief.
Watch those bathroom breaks!
