You know, recently, when watching Cartoon Network, I've noticed something even weirder. The picture seems to be stretched more at the sides than at the center! I've noticed when watching TV in Windows Media Center in the past that it has a mode that stretches pictures like that. I always thought it was odd, but it leaves close to the original aspect ratio in the center and gets more distorted on the sides, so your picture fills the screen (at least with a 16:9 display) without having any of the picture missing, and tries to fool your brain into thinking it has the correct aspect ratio. To me, this is even worse than uniform stretching, though.
EDIT: It seems like they only do this on some programs, though. Some things are, of course, presented in native 16:9, and others are uniformly stretched 4:3 (especially commercials).
