Ok ok,
TV has so much power. I know it does.
To me the worst thing about television is that everybody you see on television is doing something better than what you’re doing. You never see anybody on TV just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip crumbs all over their shirt. Some people are having a little too much fun on television. The coke commercial people, where do they get this enthusiasm? Have you seen them? Jumping, laughing, flying through the air. It’s a can of COKE for goodness sake!
Have you ever been sitting there watching TV and you’re drinking the exact same product that they’re advertising right there on TV? And they’re spiking volleyballs, jet skiing, stealing t-shirts from Jamaicans and girls in bikinis. And then you look around and see yourself drinking the product all alone in your small little flat going, "Maybe I’m putting too much ice in mine. I’m not getting that as seen on TV effect."
And then there’s the local "Makan places lost and found". I had the unfortunate chance of glancing upon it on TV mobile the other day while standing all the way thru the damn BKE – PIE journey. Gurmit Singh and that woman co host of his. Whats the deal with them? Why do they have to eat everything that they can get hold of? And why the hell must everything taste so good? Its like you could probably feed a small town in Nigeria with the same amount of food those two gobble down their hatches. After so much incoming, the outgoing must be pretty interesting …
Don’t you hate "To Be Continued"s on TV? It’s horrible when you sense the "To Be Continued" coming. You know you’re watching the show, you’re into the story, then there’s like five minutes left and suddenly you realize, "Hey, they can’t make it. Aaron Aziz’s still stuck in the cave. There’s no way they can wrap this up in five minutes." I mean the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I wanted a long, boring story with no point to it, I’ve got my life and perhaps yours too.
TV has so much power. I know it does.
Cheers
