Television
Some points about television:
  • My roommate has acquired one, which means I now have access to television.
  • This is unfortunate. I just walked into the living room and watched a few moments of the Tyra Banks talk show, creatively entitled Tyra. Now, there is something in television called a "product placement." The first words out of Tyra's mouth are an excellent example:
    Hey everyone! [audience cheers] Do you all like my new Addidas© Vintage™? [gestures to clothing; audience cheers] They're great. Now on today's show we've got the contestants from the reality show sensation The Biggest Loser with us...
  • My friend Cara has much better taste in TV. She lent me a Japanese show called Full Metal Panic, which is the ultimate anime teenage marketing ploy with both 16-year-old schoolgirls who have boy trouble and giant battle robots who have trouble...from other giant battle robots. That's right, both of 'em!
  • Even a for 14-year-olds only show like Full Metal Panic makes room for unflattering commentary on American foreign policy:

We need a show about 16 yr old schoolgirls who have trouble with giant battle robots.- UT critic

How about some product placement in the State of the Union speech, perhaps Bush's "Fruit of the Abramoff" underwear. Better yet, how about Tyra Banks giving the speech? - UT Businessman

We'll be getting a tv soon. Just so we'll have something else to watch our movies on besides our computers..
