A widescreen, 3D and 4K cunting for television. Not the electronic devices themselves. I’m talking about the utter shit content they display.
In my lifetime, so many things have changed for the worse. Air travel. Football. Society in general. A once enjoyable and much anticipated treat which was television has become utter crap. Here are some examples:
Reality TV. Novel at first, now it saturates the schedules and has become even dumber. If that were possible.
Commercials. These cunts deserve a cunting in their own right, but indulge me. I do not understand why advertisers would want their commercial to run back-to-back 3 times in a row. Or repeat twice or more within the same commercial break. It’s fucking insane. If I see that I immediately hate that company and their fucking product. I can’t be the only one. These days of course we have the woke commercials trying to make us believe mixed race couples are as common as same race. Nothing wrong with mixed race, but come the fuck on.
Programmes with commercial breaks. You’re enjoying a show then just before a commercial break, you get some cunt telling/showing you what’s coming up. Don’t fucking do that, you’re ruining it for everyone. I’d like to enjoy the show without knowing exactly what the next segment will contain. Why why fuckity why do they do that? Their other trick is when they come back from a commercial break, they re-show the last minute or so of the programme you’re watching, like they think you’ve got fucking Alzheimer’s. I strongly believe they do this to keep to the same time slot, but reduce the actual content so the show is cheaper to make.
Advertising within a programme. You’re watching some programme then half the screen fills up with advertising another show. When this cunting idea first started it would be a smallish caption at the bottom of the screen. These days they’re multi-coloured huge text complete with moving graphics, etc. Jesus Christ on a log flume, why can’t you wait to advertise your other shitty show during a commercial break? Oh wait, I get it. That leaves more commercial air time for actual paying advertisers. So to make more money, they’ll advertise their own shows within a programme you’re already watching. Just to make it even worse, they’ll show the same trailer over and over again. Like we all have Alzheimer’s. Best (worst) one I ever saw was the Sci-Fi Channel (now with the gay name Syfy) which usually screens a Twilight Zone marathon during the holidays. Classic, eerie and period black and white nostalgia completely ruined by the idiot broadcaster showing trailers for other shows in full color while The Twilight Zone is on. Or telling you you’re watching The Twilight Zone marathon! I fucking know that you cunts! Talk about completely ruining the effect. Absolutely idiotic.
When I was a kid 3 channels, all of which closed down around midnight, was the extent of our visual entertainment choices. Commercial breaks seemed shorter, less patronizing, less fear mongering and you saw different commercials each commercial break. When a show came back from commercial, it picked up where it left off before the break. Advertising within another show never happened. Who knew what we accepted as normal would change completely for the worse. Three channels became 4, then 5 then 300 and it’s all mostly shit with little to no regard for the viewers’ actual enjoyment.
TV has become an utter cunt. What say you?
