    You might not think that if you ever saw me in a thong and stilettos, while doing crystal meth and sipping coconut water, honey!

    This is why I am sooooo glad I don't watch network television. Score! Cable tv and commercials were invented by the devil!

    Autodial collection services. Call every couple hours the minute you are behind on a bill and even after you have paid it.

    Recorded pay systems. Long drawn out phone systems that make paying your bill so difficult it takes two or three calls to accomplish.

    Recorded answering services. The companies way of keeping you from talking to a person to complain about the fact that you have paid your bill and the fucking autodial is still calling you.

    I'm sure it's been said in this thread:

    Reality TV. Does everything have to be a fucking contest?

    No. No it doesn't.

    Speaking from experience, there is a certain level of laziness in many programming departments. Amazingly they aren't all that imaginative. I am working to bring change to this... at least on the Asian front. There's only so much I can do though as many (most) broadcasters follow what's happening in the UK, Netherlands and US (almost in that order).

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions...and good entertainment too.

    DVRs
    I love it, can't think of TV before it...and can't stop filling it with all the shows & movies I want to watch.
    There's not enough time in the day.

    And then...I have to make the "call" of which shows to erase if the thing is getting too full.
    Noooo...I want to watch them all.

    But, but, but...I just need to go to work, sleep, do chores...I want to exercise, go out...play on the TFP...
    So much to do, so little time.

    Ugh, I've just narrowed down to veg time...and spare time. (sorry, I need to get out & about too, that's priority)
    And ironically, I'm not interested in watching much I've recorded "at that time", but at the same time I keep it because I still want to watch it.

    Now I know what Alvin Toffler meant by "Future Shock". SOB was right even in 1970.
    TOO many choices. :rolleyes:

    If they ever start a reality show that is an actual fucking contest, I'd watch it :).
