Looking for a fun party gimmick or for a special way to tell someone you care?
This service would allow you to upload video to be shown to a specific subscriber, instead of an ad or a program
Features would include time of day, channel, show and of course parental control, so that X-rated messages
would only flow through an X-rated channel

Some cable companies can already tailor specific ads and barkers to individual customers, so this isn't too far-fetched. |

Jinbish, not even close to magic, otherwise you couldn't get OnDemand and a package that is specific to you. |

Penn & Teller had a gimmic that worked this way; A video of commercials is started, unbeknownst to your guests. At a queued point you demonstrate your powers by compressing and stretching the picture. I can think of many uses for this service, mostly humorous, some evil. + |
