Television Journalism

Over the years I accused the downfall of society on various people, places and things. And then when I ran out of names, I went right in the pronouns, although I think an amateur. But this time, I have the goal of serving for something bad that has ever come to anyone at any time: television teasers …

These are the 15-second teasers that serve advertising presentation of new television programs that reach the note, "later tonight, I'll tell you if snow accumulates 15 inches – or maybe no snow at all! "On a good day, a teaser can be more like" There is certainly a murderer living in their city. Discover tonight if your neighbor next door. "And then we all know what happens to an agreement in. After stimulation for four hours waiting for disseminating begin seems that the snow is three hours away and the murderer is an old man who treads ants. – The end. If the vote definitely exposed to better inform the public in general, then they need to start with its enigmas, brings more honesty that even a politician could offer: "Absolutely nothing to explain why happened today. If you give, you'll wonder why you bothered. "

Of course, as I write this, only a teaser on my television screen. Melody as we prepare for Valentine's Day, "said the broadcaster women. But really, what can be so surprising – or even interesting – About Valentine's new requirements for the cover? unless a local man dating a polar bear, I'm not interested …

Imagine a second what today would be a polar bear, always raise the back. But I'm sure there are positive aspects. Imagine you drink soda and suddenly converted into heat. Well, do not worry – your date of polar bear will be there to drop some buckets. It is true that an ice machine – or maybe even an ice cube tray – could produce similar results, but where is the emotion? Think about this the next time you reject a polar bear for a date …

On Valentine's Day, I can not help but wonder if the raisins out to date. And if so, on dates with other grapes, or are allowed by their parents (those raisins grape) to go on dates with prunes – or perhaps go on dates with the dates? If a date for a date, really I think no doubt the universe is, literally, to turn up. This can seem like a dramatic exaggeration but I do not think anyone will laugh when it happens …

The issue of television news began, now I see that the teaser is Valentine's Day: how to buy the best diamonds. The fact that I am writing about the raisins, I feel I missed the point. This is not serious but at least my iced tea in it …

But I digress.
