Shitcasts on the boob tube...

Its been a few weeks since I started my job hunt. Since then, 24 hours have consistently been longer than they have been in quite some time. It reminds me of the idleness that overfilled my days 10 months back and pushed me into the blog world. A lot of people dealing with this phase (which W.T.F.Iceman aptly decribes as B.O.O.B.S. in his blog) turn to the idiot box. So I once again tried it against my wish and found nothing much has changed about the idiot box in 10 months. I'd like to make a mention of a few channels which I prefer to comfortably skip while surfing.

Family channels-For obvious reasons. I've been skipping them for as long as I remember and am absolutely clueless about what they show. A few discovered by W.T.F.Iceman can be read in his above mentioned blog.

MTV-MTV is one channel that sure as hell is making shit-loads of money with Roadies and Splitsvilla on every teenager's (and surprisingly a lot of adults') mind. I don't have any problems with the concept of these shows in particular, but I really don't get why are these seemingly the only shows on MTV. Turn on MTV at any hour and you will find one of these two. If not, check whats next and you will find them. Why the hell can't they play some quality music at other times? I'd suggest they change their name, cause it sure ain't music what they play.

News channels-These should seriously consider renaming the category itself. I even have a suggestion. They should collectively call themselves 'Abuse Channels' because they have literally been shamelessly abusing the very concept of news for several years now. All they do is pick up any and every miniscule scandal and use their expertise to exaggerate it, or just pick up any scandalizable enough event and make it look like a BEEEG SCANDAL. Apart from this, they also specialize in making opinion shows out of thin air. Just two days back I came across a show which was showing optional makeovers for political personalities suggested by some fashion designers and the public opinion on those makeovers. It was nauseating. WHY THE FUCK would I (or anyone for that matter) want to know what percentage of their retarded ignorant muthafuckin' viewers think of Sonia Gandhi's makeover. For all I care, they might want to see her in a see through bikini. So Fuck it!...AND FUCK THEM TOO }:-|

One common trait of all these channels is that these shows are repeated over and over as many times as possible so that the viewers can reproduce everything word by word even after a shot of horse tranquilizer. I am desperately waiting for the day when this putrid pile of shitshows will exhaust and the perpetual torture be put to and end. Till then, lets make do with NatGeo, Discovery and the movie channels.
