At work, there are 3 monitors that show various cable networks - usually news when I'm in there. Yesterday, they had MSNBC on about 4 hours before the Presidential debate when, I'm sure this is how it happened, MSNBC had a glitch and for about 1 second, there was the orange Elio and Paul. There were words on the screen that I didn't have time to read but after it was off, I realized the words said "The Time is Now" and at THAT moment, I realized I had just seen the Elio on "real" TV. Now, it's possible that the commercial played in it's entirety. I was at work and had 8 screens I was babysitting and those were all business but I looked up across the room and up on the wall was the Elio. I barely caught it. I was listening to audio from another source so I can't be sure. Oh well. Not bad placement if it was really shown. It seems that it would be right on target to show it just before the Presidential debate. (Please don't derail this thread - I like hearing others' Elio sightings on TV!)

First one I saw was about an hour before the first Presidential debate on (I think) MSNBC. Because of the upcoming debate I was flipping through the news channels that day, so I am not too certain on the channel.

Ty: When you saw those quick, was it like a 1 second Elio commercial?
And the others, how long were they?

If it was like a 1 second commercial, that's the same ones I saw a few weeks ago.
EM told me they were station glitches.
So if you saw the same things, they're not a station glitch.

Like Popcorn & Soda flashes at the movies, just slower.....

I see the 30 second ad from YouTube maybe once a week or so, often enough I've stopped noting each instance. I'm used to working second and third shift, so I tend to end up watching programs on National Geographic or the Science Channel and their ilk at about 1-4 in the morning, and I'll catch the sheet being pulled off of the orange Elio every once in a while as I meander back to the couch from the kitchen. Puts a little grin on my face each time.

Nothing but Cadillac and Toyota before I can watch YouTube videos, though. :)
