[OT] What\'s wrong with the people on TV.
 
Quoting William Gibson's blog

You already knew this, but now you have something to call it.

I've long thought there's something wrong with the people on my TV. none of them are more than about 10 inches tall...

An alternative title for that article:
-What do you get for the celebrity ******* who already has everything?
-An excuse to be an *******.

This would be funny if not for the fact that the most severe and acute cases of this 'disease' afflict (and have afflicted) men who hold the power of life and death over millions. William Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich makes a chilling case study of this syndrome.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">that's because actor's are made up, those shows are REALLY played by small people. they vary the width of the screen with nana-technology to make themselves look bigger or smaller.

I've known this for a long time. I'm just not as articulate as the author. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">and a dictionary helps how?...

joke i came up with one day: "News stations report that they replaced newscasters with cg two months ago. Reportedly, nobody noticed."

my dad didn't think it's funny. said it's to true to be funny.

i think the main culprit is the urge to appear unbaised. people are baised and that bais will show. so, get it out in the open where we can watch it. let newscasters be people on the air.
