Not bug, bugs but those bugs in the corners of your TV shows. Most channels seem to have them now and not just the stationary ones but animated ones as well. Sometimes I can ignore them, but at times they seem to take over more of the screen than the actual show.
For instance: this morning I was watching Bobby flay on The Food Network. In the lower left hand corner was the round food bug that's almost always always there. An exception is when one of the food network personalities pop out of it to promote one of their shows, their cookbooks, or other products. At the same time in the upper right hand corner there was a Next Iron Chef logo and a countdown clock to the finale. I was beginning to think it was going to stay during the whole show when it fianlly went away only to reapear later. They also go away during comercials.
Also at one point during the show a big turkey popped out advertizing it was Let's Talk Turkey on the Food Network. Of course other networks have bugs too but to me TFN seems to have the most annoying, but then again maybe I notice them more since Sat. and Sun. are the days I usually watch and that's what I watch the most.
I'm lucky that we have a big screen TV as I can imagine they're even worse on a small screen. How do you feel? Annoying or necessary?

Shannon, the pop ups just seem to get bigger too and in more that one corner of the screen at once.
Lilith thanks for your coment as a film maker.
Victoria, I figured with a regular TV they'd be even worse.
Carolyn, you reminded me of the huge ones of Monk on I think the USA channel. They were huge too.
Lynn, I guess they drive us all a little crazy.
Thanks everyone!
