Heckuva job, CBS. After hyping the final music performance at the Grammys by Nine-Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, Dave Grohl, and Lindsey Buckingham, the network cut away to cram in some last-minute advertising time. Goodbye, rock. Hello, Delta.

Amazing how #GRAMMYs cut away from the performance I'd been waited through all that bullshit to see. #FML, as the first-world kids say.

WTSF #Grammys ???!!! You cut away mid-closer for a Delta Airlines promo & credits?! F*uck you!

Salt in the wound. Thanks, Delta. RT @TheGRAMMYs: Queens of the Stone Age join Nine Inch Nails to finish out the night! #GRAMMYs

Some viewers believe the cutaway was to prevent some same-sex kissing from airing.
CBS producer: "JUST DON'T SHOW ANY GAYS KISSING!!!!" #GRAMMYs

But CBS has pulled the end-of-show cutaways before. It’s all about the Benjamins. See: last year.
So freaking pissed off that Grammys ruined the finale! What I saw was great… before the Delta ads!

I can't believe I watched the entirety of the grammys for a delta airlines commercial to be played over Nine Inch Nails performance.
