"Grand Theft Auto: Calumet City". The radio stations, of course, specialize in blues.

Let me also take this opportunity to comment on the particular circle of Hell reserved for cable channels that cut and bleep movies, even ones being shown in the evening, in really obvious ways. There's some special brimstone reserved for proponents of the squish-o-credits syndrome, too.

One thing i really wanted to find while i visited Chicago was a Blues Brothers tour, where they take you to all the places from the movie. I wonder if such a thing exists.

I support and affirm. Also, those who raise the volume on commercials relative to the actual show — because, you know, there weren't enough reasons to mute the commercials before.

Squisho-vision credits don't annoy too much, unless I want to archive the show (in which case seeing an advert for the next show, or having scrolling adverts across the screen are really annoying).

But the commercial volume... THAT drives me nuts! Yay for 30 second skip on my UTV :-)

At least one can skip adverts or look up the credits on IMDB. Butchering the main feature is Not OK.
If I subscribed to movie channels and they did that, I'd cancel with a rude letter so fast their heads would spin.

Very apropos that, the all-time classic stupid TV snip is the classic line:

"You'll look mighty stupid with no {pause} TEETH!
