Fun With Captions
There are times when i believe the TV program is at least partially modified in real time from a supercomputer somewhere. Or at least the commercials.
Yesterday i saw a beer commercial. A glass was getting filled with beer. 1.5 seconds after that i saw the back of the head of a blonde woman dressed in blue covering the whole screen with a thick piggy tail. Ok i switched channels and i see another commercial with another glass filling with beer with another blonde woman dressed in blue, etc. But it was a DIFFERENT comercial! Ok i switched channels again and i see a cupcake. Good. I looked at it trying to feel the taste and the imaginary texture with my tongue in my empty salivating mouth. 1.5 seconds later, i see a baby eating the cake. Ok i switched channels and i see a beautiful woman with some exercising device, stretching all the muscles of her beautiful long legs, and from everywhere else. OK i stare and enjoy. 1 second later i see a guy full of muscles doing the same thing. Turn off.
OK. I remembered the time when i had satellite and VCR and recorded on a rolling tape everything just in case i wanted to prove something. I briefly thought of a TiVo or any DVR, then i said ok, i cannot afford it and it's not worth it since i watch the same free channels distributed on the air. It would be a total waste since rareley there are competing programs on different channels...
Then i remembered about my 70 bucks German Engineered wanderous compact camera and grabbed it. I tried to keep in on the screen but when i was seeing something it was too slow to focus and take the picture and the scene was changing... Then i started to take random shots, one after another, for about 10 minutes until i got bored... Today i downloaded the pictures and noticed a strange effect due to the delay of the CC... Everything looked funny like in a comics book... (Yes i use CC because of the reduced volume at night and because i'm not a native English speaker, remember?).
