Do people really live like this?

Check out this unintentionally hilarious commercial that introduces Times Warner Cable's "Signature Home" service. This is all-you-can-view cable, with a special DVR, high-speed Internet, and a "personal solutions adviser" so you're not stuck on hold with the hoi polloi. But what about this family? There's the $10 million home, the goo-goo eyed couple, the non-irritating kids, the easy-going, slow-motion vibe ("Honey, I'll be soaking for the next 18 hours"), and the soft jazz that makes you believe a quartet is playing in the broom closet. And not a cable truck in sight.
