OverRide Gaming Has Advertisers Nervous*

Tired of annoying commercials interrupting your favorite programs? Bored out of your mind waiting for the assault on your intellect to end and return to the programming you actually tuned in to view? Want to kill Vince and his Sham-frigging-Wow?

Now you can do something about those ungodly commercials with OverRide, the revolutionary new system that replaces TV ads with video games. No more sitting through a seemingly endless parade of useless merchandise and overly aggressive pitchmen. OverRide will instantly switch your TV to game mode to allow you to play a variety of great games with nothing more than your remote control. OverRide will override any and all commercials thanks to advanced programming software that detects the codes stations use to embed ads in their programming schedule. With OverRide just sit back and enjoy the ride, until it’s over.

Deploying a series of relatively short mini-games ensures that you won’t be in the middle of a level when the programming switches back to TV mode, at which time you’ll have the option to continue playing or continue watching 30 Rock. It’s an excellent way to pass the time, not to mention it will help keep you in top gaming form during marathon Mythbuster weekends.

OverRide is simple to install. Using virtually any console gaming system, simply plug the cable connection from your satellite or cable provider into the console and run a line out to your TV. OverRide comes with all the adapters you need to fit any kind of console, cable, and TV. The cable signal is routed directly into the console where the software detects commercial breaks and overrides the signal, providing you with a variety of mini-games until your show is back on.

“We’re really excited about OverRide,” exclaims company spokesman Ed Turret, “the more you hate commercials, the more you’ll love OverRide. And who doesn’t hate commercials? And thanks to a subsidizing agreement with various manufacturers, OverRide will be very affordable for consumers as they will enjoy a relatively short message from our sponsors before gaming commences,” adds Turret.

OverRide will be in stores in time for the Holiday Season. Turret says that they plan to advertise heavily until the New Year. “There’s no reason to advertise into the New Year,” says Turret, “because if our product is successful, people won’t see our commercials.”
