I don't have a tevo and don't have time to plan out what i want to watch on cable on the remote thing, which means I usually end up watching TV in real time. I don't like most programming on TV. I do watch 'Modern Family', as described earlier in this inane blog. Watch the news. Watch some PBS. This 'n that. C'mon, we ALL watch goddamn TV, even the channel 9 snobs. Admit it, you righteous gluten-free, wheat grass-eating sons a bitches....you like Judge Judy. And you eat cheetos when you watch it.
However, I cannot tell you how much I loathe commercials. Honest-to-God, given the choice of PAYING for watching TV without commercials I would do so. Yeah, I contribute to PBS. PBS doesn't have the really shitty stuff I like to waste my time on though. You know, those times when you just want to sit down and watch some worthless shit on the networks.
The price you pay to watch this worthless network shit is having to watch commercials. 20 minutes of this flotsam for every 40 minutes of programming. AND, I don't know how they do it, but the networks have gotten together and TIMED this barrage of flotsam so that you can't switch from one shitty program to another shitty program without watching a commercial. So you are completely immersed in shit.
Now that they have you where they want you, these hawking bozos insult you further by telling you one thing and completely denying every word they have promised by putting it in the SMALL PRINT. I recorded some of these and went back to read this. It takes quite an effort to see it, even on pause. NONE of what is said in the ad is actually true. It's like watching political ads all year long. (don't get me started).
I went on Google to research some of this and it IS true. fine print disclaims most of what is said. And nothing can be done about it. It's all legal.
Politicians, advertisers, they ALL take us for idiots with I.Q.'s of under 40. Every one of us Amerikens. Damn, maybe it's true.....
