Pretty vacant
The work week just ended was another of the sort that in the past I’ve referred to as a crusher. It sapped my energy and left me more than usually prone to vexation. Here are just a few of the things I’ve endured courtesy of the damn television:
CNN International’s empty-headed, over-lipped morning anchor Monita Rajpal painstakingly enunciating the phrase “Deep Throat” over and over until more news breaks.
Tagline for new cop-show on BBC Prime:
“Spooks: MI5, not 9 to 5!”
Overheard on the Travel Channel:
To tell the truth, humans have been living here for thousands of years, and the accumulation of human culture is truly fascinating.
A crisp new 1000 tolar note will go to the first reader who correctly guesses the name of the destination the Travel Channel presenter was talking about. Hint: “Anywhere on earth except Antarctica” is not a valid entry. Use the comment link to enter the contest if you think you have what it takes.
