Anyway I don't subscribe to all the Sky Channels. I scrubbed the Movies and the Sports a long time ago. The "music" channels (one for another day) and the kids went next, then the news and lifestyle as the "shite" to "good" ratio was too high.
Recently (i.e. last week) I happened to catch one of the more vaunted new channels - one which exploits the age of new media - You Tube, Blogging, Flickr, Social Networking and the rest of the buzz words people who haven't the first notion of what they actually are use in an effort to seem "in touch"
Current TV
As they say on their website
"Current is about what's going on: stories from the real world, told by you. We slice our schedule into short segments that we call "pods" — each just a few minutes long. You'll see profiles of interesting people on the rise, intelligence on trends as they spring up around us, and international news from new perspectives. And much of it comes straight from you"
It somehow reminds me of something I've written in jest recently. So I surfed (no pun) to Channel 193 and what did I see....?
An advertisement for Comfort Fabric Conditioner.
"..new perspectives"?
My hole.
