Funny TV channels !

You come home from a hard days work. You remove your shoes. Take a shower. Take the remote control and then switch on the idiot box for your daily news updates. In this process, nothing is missing. Nothing is out of place. But after you switch ON your TV, you surf through the channels, often coming across TV channels covering same news. It is worth mentioning that the TV channels take pain staking efforts in doing so. They have a man in around every city in the nation, there, all packed, locked and loaded to shoot some thing that can feebly increase the TRP of the pathetic news channel.


So you still keep on channel surfing ... trying to find the right channel for the evening. You come across 18 news channels. Most of them were running the same story all over again. You are getting bored of it now. You want to switch off your TV, have ur dinner and go to bed [cuz u know that ur boss is gonna kick yo ass if u late at werk]. But still you say to yourself ... just hang in there ... you might get the right channel. BANG !!!


There it was ... the news channel you were searching for !
It sure isn't informative for the evening ... but it does make you laugh. This one's covering a story about whistling your way to 15 seconds of fame. You see a TV host along with a few people [3 guys and a lady] ... So you see this female asking these people, "When did you think that whistling is your strengths ? "
The guy is overwhelmed with excitement. He gives an answer that no one on earth cares about. The host asks him to whistle a jingle. Now you are really feeling awkward. Next you see 4 people [3 guys and a lady] jingling their way to 15 seconds their of fame...where they don't speak a word !

They start off with a classic. "Dil to Pagal Hai" ... yes I know that you know it. The news channel has a round of fake applause. By this time you are thoroughly entertained. For the first time you have seen grown ups act like an ass. You switch the channel before you loose your senses. You come across cable TV. Same old cable that puts on latest flicks after mid-night on weekdays. And on weekends, you can find the usual porno. So, you find the cable channel playing an ITEM song form a new flick. But wait. You can listen the song. But the video is not visible. Whats the point in showing an ITEM song without any visuals. You concentrate. You try to see the picture clear. But there is a problem here that can't be rectified by any TV. Not even Bravia by SONY.

The problem is that the screen is over swept by commercial ads. Look at the percentage of screen thats visible in this screen shot. You think, why am I even paying for this shitty service ?
You are sad. You are Dissapointed. You switchoff your TV set. Call up the cable operator. Ask him to unplug your connection. Next day get yourself a DTH. And then, live happily ever after.

wow! is there really a cablechannel like that. i can hardly see any visuals man! all i see is ads. i must be really frustrating if ur watching porn and suddenly an ad pops out to cover the "SPECIA ECONOMIC ZONES" [:p], almost as if theyre saying"this body part is sponsored by XYZ" [:p]

INDIA TV IS HILLARIOUS!! unlike u, i really dun hate it. now that the GREAT INDIAN LAUGHTER CHALLENGE and the GREAT INDIAN COMEDY SHOW are off the air, i think INDIA TV serves as a near-perfect substitute for comic relief.

u need to blog a little more often man. mebbe i should tag ya. ok i tag u on any one of the following topics.take ur pick..

my issue:

how can you post an article only two days back (i went back to recheck the date thrice) and still have comments that are five months old. wow.
you must be in HP 3, or stolen that potion or clock?

(please dont mind i am sleepy :P)


i like ur posts, techinical, but veo, awfully amazed at the speed you blog, really.

i can understand it, i have been commenting about it a lot recently. with Pakistani some 40 news channels and only 5 or 6 entertaintment channels, we need more entertaintment seriously.

because what is all tha news channels all about? over-hyped glamorised gory stories! sadly we dont consider good things as news!

anyway, i am glad you attached pictures to it... really help me imagine ur state. :)

keep writing.

Hey...I know these TV channels are insane. local cable channels are meant to be insane but then NEWS channels?!

INDIA TV
IBN7
AAJ TAK

^^^^^^^^^^ Bullshit!

They really dont care about whats going on and they are simply submerged in their own world full of lousy grunting oafs and stupid magicians and bullshit!

Its a pity that they are not banned!

Cheers!

Yeah I agree with that fact. The thing that fascinated me at this point is that I have reverted back to the National News channels (DD News) because they do not have crap ads and bullshit news.

And thats the way it shud be.

Regards.

I dont know if my last comment here got recorded..so Im posting it again..just incase its a repetition, be a darling and delete this one na.. :D

ok, so I was saying..I feel completely left out here..We have no such channels here in Kerala..Its bummer I tell you..These channels though painful must be bloody hilarious. Yes, shoot your brains out hilarious but hilarious nonetheless..

Call me bloody sadist if you want..but I love watching people make a fool out of themselves on national television..which is why, even if I miss these reality shows, I dont miss the episodes showing the auditions to it..Freaking good stuff I say!!! :D
