A few seconds in, the ad grows to fill the entire shot, and presto, before the viewer realizes it, without any musical swells or fading to black, he's watching a commercial."

I guess that's one way to combat Tivo users that skip commercials and even add to advertisements in download-able episodes. Though, at the same time, it could potential cause problems in the rerun department as they now have to edit new content in.
