big "wtf?!" moment this evening: getting back from the conference today, i think how i will be early enough to kick back with a beer or three and catch the the third harry potter movie (prisoner of azkaban) that was advertised by abc last week during the showing of the second harry potter movie. but i forgot what city i live in. flipping over to the channel, i see:

Chuckwagon Cook-Off
The annual competition takes place in Ruidoso, N.M. (Special, Cooking)
proof ? hardly. but it's happened before here with this series and other flicks. you want me to believe that demand for the above garbage is higher than for a multiple academy award nominated film ?
bastards. not even so much the local station (cincinnati wcpo), but the fuckers in the community i live among. really, people, it only happens because you want it to. how fucking stupid do you think i am ? like you ?
this also especially goes for those who may not share those sentiments, but nevertheless stand by and let it happen. next time yuou hear this sort of attitude from a neighbor or coworker or whoever - challenge it.
intolerance is intolerable.
yeah. community "standards". sure, it's not like i have a right to view things on a private corporation's broadcast, and if it had never been placed on the schedule in the first place, what can i say ? but that isn't what happened, is it ? the garbage above is a local pre-emption of the national feed.
yes, y'all can do this crap and get away with it. way to go.
hard not to wonder what's been happening that's less noticeable. for that, a comparison to international programming is a start. not like that is any better in many cases.
