So I'm watching SNL online and I hear the familiar chime that usually means I'm getting a message on gchat.
I switch over to it and look for a new message.
But I don't see anything new....
So maybe I'm getting the noise but not the actual chat message.
I think about it... is there something wrong with their JavaScript? A bug perhaps?

What's the best way to check for a new message? I can check the chat logs, I can try to pull down the chat on my phone, etc...
So I reach for my phone, when I realize that there's a commercial playing
...and the noise.
That noise.
...is coming from the commercial.

This is not the first time this has happened.
