Apparently an advertisement for Kevin James' "Zookeer" was digitally altered into a rerun of How I Met Your Mother, which originally aired in 2007.

Honestly, I doubt most people will.

Which makes me wonder why one would bother, from a commercial sense. Seems like a waste of money.

another reason not to watch reruns, as if having 11 minutes of commercials to start and cutting out 1-2 minutes of the show for more commercials wasn't enough of a reason to in the first place..
