I once watched a 60 minute ad because I wondered (what would a 60min ad even be about) and I can't remember

That shitty Epoch Times used to do that. I was watching a bunch of satire videos and one of their commercials was on, and I legitimately thought it was part of the skit because of how stupid it was.
