I'll preprogram some forum posts because nobody will see me for six months.

My landlady offered me a TV that she took after she evicted some poor family and I told I'd just sell it. Guess I shouldn't have said that, because then she never brought it by.

The government started requiring them to tell people it was Liberian currency... before, you didn't have a clue. They were selling them like they'd been made at a US mint.
The worst was the commemorative 9/11 half-dollar.... the WTC was gold leafed and, get this, you could actually tilt them up and stand them up straight off the quarter like a fucking pop-up book.

case in point... THIS FUCKING COMMERCIAL was on CNN during a Lou Dobbs break last night. My jaw nearly hit the floor. I just can't believe they're allowed to get away with crap like this.

« on: January 22, 2009, 01:28:32 PM »Yeah. Last commercial I saw was at RC's house on December 20th. Before that, it had been a couple years. I can't believe how omnipresent they are.

Live sports and events like te Oscars are where "interent TV" still gets sticky.
And also, increasingly, available for download. I see all Awards shows, and most of the major games show up on my secret site.

« on: January 22, 2009, 01:18:00 PM »I actually got control of the television long enough last night to switch to MSNBC so I could watch Hardball because Chris Matthews owns. But, they cut into it with breaking news about Caroline Kennedy pulling out... no wait she's in... no she's out... it's because of perso... Teddy is... no wait, we think she's gotten word.... no wait she's in.... out again... they think it's because she's not ready to... she's in out in out...
Then I screamed, threw the remote through the television and set the house on fire.

The media's been retarded the past 8 years. Why should we expect anything different now?
