    Stay rele­vant? Wouldn’t that require it to actually BE relevant?

    Oh, you’re going to post the link to the inter­view when it airs, yes?

    When your own life is more inte­res­ting than the cha­rac­ters on TV, then it ain

    Wow. How easy to come, jump on the bad­wa­gon and slag TV. Not all of Ame­rica, or the world for that mat­ter, spends their day eye-locked to a com­pu­ter moni­tor, navel-gazing away at how wired they and their blo­groll are.
    The peo­ple who get off on bag­ging on TV simply don’t watch the right stuff. Apart from the utter deluge of bad TV, there’s a ton of fas­ci­na­ting stuff on TV. Since, we’re likely tal­king less about TV worth watching and more about TV worth spen­ding your mrke­ting dollar on, I’ll note there still a ton of great, tar­ge­ted pla­ces on TV to get eye­balls.
    Maybe I’m rea­ding too much into it, but I read things like this post’s quote, and the thing about the dipshit land­lord nee­ding to blog, and I infer that the inter­net is the solu­tion being offe­red.
    I’m not buying that the world is as internet-focused as peo­ple who spend all day crui­sing blogs seem to think.
