... with your TV?
I'm currently on holiday (which means I bypass my blacklists for more than another week, woo hoo) and I'm convinced TV here is inferior to back home. And where I'm at, we've got 'cable' which is a term not used back in the UK but I know from episodes of The Simpsons it's meant to be something good, but that's all I know.
So there's a lot of channels, big deal. On Sky back home there must be as much. And that's not including the optional naughty channels you can pay for. And of the channels over here I'm sure over 100% of them are weather channels. How many weather channels can you need? As well as this there are FAR too many shopping channels. As in more than 0. One for every kind of crap that can be sold.
The other thing that bugs me, there are even more adverts than back home. And all about supposed medicines. Every one essentially contains the same warning message; "Do not take if you are currently alive". I watched one the other day, it was for relieving sore throats. Among the side effects were "Liver Failure", "Heart Disease" and, last but not least, "Death". Which makes me wonder, do y'all Americans mind that the medicines advertised to you have more ways of killing you than a swiss army knife?
