[OT] What's wrong with the people on TV.

Quoting William Gibson's blog (http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/blog/2003_09_01_archive.asp)

You already knew this, but now you have something to call it. (http://www.talentdevelop.com/acquired.html)

I've long thought there's something wrong with the people on my TV. none of them are more than about 10 inches tall...

An alternative title for that article:
-What do you get for the celebrity ******* who already has everything?
-An excuse to be an *******.

This would be funny if not for the fact that the most severe and acute cases of this 'disease' afflict (and have afflicted) men who hold the power of life and death over millions. William Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich makes a chilling case study of this syndrome.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">that's because actor's are made up, those shows are REALLY played by small people. they vary the width of the screen with nana-technology to make themselves look bigger or smaller.

I've known this for a long time. I'm just not as articulate as the author. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Why does the name "Clinton" keep coming to mind?

[Alari]

Or Bush....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">and a dictionary helps how?...

joke i came up with one day: "News stations report that they replaced newscasters with cg two months ago. Reportedly, nobody noticed."

my dad didn't think it's funny. said it's to true to be funny.

i think the main culprit is the urge to appear unbaised. people are baised and that bais will show. so, get it out in the open where we can watch it. let newscasters be people on the air.

Well... the word that he linked to has special significance for one of the people in question...

[narf poit chez BOOM]

ok...

[Fyron]

Well that depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

[Loser]

wait for it....

you mean his waffling over his 'activities' in his office?

[Mathias_Ice]

My earliest memory of Billary was him saying, "I tried marijuana but I didn't inhale." I immediately knew the man was either an idiot or he thought I was an idiot and would believe his BS. Either way, his comment there seems to exemplify the disease mentioned.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

it could be a joke. not a very good one, though.

Never trust PLastic People.

I haven't watched much TV at all in the past few years, and I've noticed my tolarance for makeup has steadily declined. National Newsfolk are only marginally tolorable, local Newsfolk make me want to start screaming about martian inposters taking over our communicaitons networks.
