One way things are worse…


Here’s the thing, back in the day when a television (or “TV” to the cool kids) didn’t have anything to air, like all night long, they were honest about it.  They played a super annoying beep and slapped up a (sometimes inappropriately “Indian") test pattern.  You’ve seen these, right?  Lines and circles and all black and white?  Later on fancy “TV” stations used full color test patterns.  So cool.

Nowadays, however, it’s not quite so easy to determine that there is nothing on.  Now there are so many channels to get through and they all have “something” playing all night.  Thus it can take a half an hour or so to determine what the test patterns so readily told us.  There’s nothing on. 

I suppose you could disagree with me if you are the type of person who wants to talk to “Trixie” at 1-900-call-me-now-you-hot-stud or if you wanted to make millions “practically guaranteed” or lose 60 pounds although “results are not typical” or maybe even lengthen that “certain part of a man’s body” although “results may vary”.  If you are that person, then I am sorry.  Not that I was wrong, mind you, but sorry because you are that person.

Me, I’ll take the honest way every time.  Just show me the test pattern and I’ll be on my way.
