broadcast media bad?
ooh, blame it on the unhealthy amounts of alcohol consumed lately, but i've just had yet another revelation. wait for it... wait for it! here it comes:
i don't do broadcast media.
no telly, no radio. nonono. i just realised that the reason why is that it does not operate on my terms.
movies, tv-shows, the lot. i want the good stuff, when i want it and with no additives pls.
with telly i can't choose when to receive my entertainment and my choises are limited based on what other people like. and everyone knows that other ppl are bloody mindless waste of time and space. as a bonus, with my limited and always unconveniently timed little pieces of entertainment, i'm being force-fed ads in attempt to brainwash me even further. i don't think so.
with radio it's slightly different.
i listen to music non-stop and quite often use it to either alter my mood or reinforce the mood i am in.
where as with radio, i'm rendered into a receiver with no control over the transmission. listening to radio means giving the control over my mood to someone else. by playing tracks that i associate with memories involving certain people, time periods or situations, i can end up on a fully uncontrollable rollercoaster ride going from one end to the other and back again.
meh.
ipod and dvds, please. and yes, i'll have some chips with that too.
