They want us to watch/love them, they don't want to watch/love us back ;-) This whole one-way media thing is so over... remember when one-way media was all there was? When the only "citizen's media" was local access cable or spending big bucks at Kinko's? Man, that seems like so long ago... Yep. They want us to watch/love them, they don’t want to watch/love us back ;-)

They were actually engaged in LIVING. I could be watching TV right now ;-) Haven’t owned a TV since 1986-ish.
