Everything you see on TV it’s fake! 21 August 2008 at 8:38 pm by CJ

I hope that you don’t get me wrong here. Not everything that we see on TV it’s fake [ :) yeah right]. I just wanted to point our attention to one media aspect – the sweet Advertising. There is one commercial in this video (the one with the hair color on-the-click changes) which basically makes impossible to detect the difference between real and fake [graphic editing].

Hmmm, this can only harden also back up my disgrace regarding television (not only Romanian television. ALL of it). As hard is to believe I quit watching television 3 years ago. It seems that the more I get old the more clear becomes an old saying here in Romania:

With the television you retarded the people!

This saying was the main slogan in 1989 – 1990 here in my country. Many people may call that period: The Revolution. I call it: Ceausescu removal.

Anyway, a good example of this which can also sustain my words was the metallic Christmas Tree in the Unirii Plaza, winter holydays 2007-2008. To get an idea of how BIG was the stupidity; if you could drop a needle on top of the people that will not touch the ground. That’s how full the streets were. And it’s a freakin boulevard – 3 lanes per way plus the sidewalks. If you’re a fellow compatriot reading these lines I hope you’ll remember that.

Or, maybe I’m PARANOID…
