Why do birds suddenly appear…nasty crows…when you’re near?
Has anyone else noticed how TV has just become one continuous advertisement for itself? It all started when they discretely began putting the network logo at the bottom right of the screen. Then the logo got a little bigger. Now it’s hyper-animated, and periodically flashes little promos for upcoming shows, completely distracting you from the one you’re watching. Then you suddenly see a little band of words roll across the bottom of the screen and you think to yourself, "Oh, Christ, there’s some sort of emergency", but it’s yet another advertisement for another show.
All of this sure helps foster the pro-ADD mentality fast overtaking the American public, and it’s a mite disturbing. I mean, are we watching a piece of entertainment here or the bloody stock exchange?
