I hate TV - but I LOOOOOOVE True Blood

I loveTrue Blood too!

Can take or leave tv generally - wasn't overly keen on hubby getting sky as it seems to me that it just encourages slothfullness, and really he doesn't need any encouragement :lol: . But on the plus side since we've got mysky we can record everything and watch it without having to deal with the ads. I like to have it on when I'm doing my sewing and things at home, but I can't just sit and watch without doing stuff at the same time. Think I've said that before - I'm hopeless in movies with nothing to do with my hands in the dark :lol:

Desperate Housewives, any fucking wank soap like Coronation Street, (where none of these pricks actually act a character, just themselves,) reality tv, especially those about fat fucks who cant be fucked to just go for a run each day...most American sitcom shows, they are all the fucking same, Friends, what have you..WANK.

Oh, and i cant stand that "Oh it aint what you do its the way that you do it" advert with that bitch singing it, DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!

Kiwi bank ad with that annoying bitch as well, SHIT SHIT AND SHIT.

The fucking, actually, EVERY fucking coke advert-'we're all in this together" wtf is that supposed to mean? Its so far from fucking humanity it doesnt even make sense. So we all drink coke and dance and laugh aorund each other like little fucking hobbits do we? BOLLOCKS.

Crikey!! What language!

I cant stand the Kiwi Bank ad either - or any ad with Fiona McDonald telling me how wonderful the lastest convenience food is. Mashed potato in a packet; just SUPA! Her descriptions of pet food a few weeks ago made me wonder if she ate the stuff herself.

Oh yeah, she's annoying too. And to think she used to be so cool (well, I thought so back in the 80s/early 90s!). Now she's just flogging anything and everything - major sell out.

"Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (1977) is a book written by Jerry Mander which argues that there are a number of problems with the medium of television. Mander argues that many of the problems with television are inherent in the medium and technology itself, and thus cannot be reformed.

Summary

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television argues that the technology of television is not a neutral, benign instrument or tool. The author argues that in varied technologies and institutions such as militaries, automobiles, nuclear power plants, mass production, and advertising, the basic form of the institution and the technology determines its interaction with the world, the way it will be used, the kind of people who use it, and to what ends.

The author argues that far from being "neutral," television predetermines who shall use it, how they will use it, what effects it will have on individual lives, and, if it continues to be widely used, what sorts of political forms will inevitably emerge.

The author's first argument is that while television may seem useful, interesting, and worthwhile, at the same time it further boxes people into a physical and mental condition appropriate for the emergence of autocratic control.

The second argument concerns the emergence of the controllers. That television would be used and expanded by the present powers-that-be was inevitable, and should have been predictable at the outset. The technology permits of no other controllers.

The third argument concerns the effects of television upon individual human bodies and minds, effects which fit the purposes of the people who control the medium.

The fourth argument demonstrates that television has no democratic potential. The technology itself places absolute limits on what may pass through it. The medium, in effect, chooses its own content from a very narrow field of possibilities. The effect is to drastically confine all human understanding within a rigid channel. What binds the four arguments together is that they deal with aspects of television that are not reformable."

Ahead of it's time 8)

Very true. Most people don't realize that when they watch tv they are subjecting themselves to brain washing via censorship and propaganda.

The only time I would sit in front of the box is to watch channels 30-34.

Meridian Energy ads with Jeremy Wells. Another sell out. Why advertise electricity on tv? They should lower the charges instead of spending up on tv ads while old people freeze to death during winter.

I thought that as well when I have seen Meridan energy ads on tv with Jeremy Wells which I can not stand and I think of the old people freazing to death during the winter.
