How To Build Vezon And Fenrakk

TV: Call NOW and buy something that does not serve! (I)

Here in Miami, and throughout the U.S., the day before they went on sale the famous iPhone, as there were queues at many stores to get one. Similar happened since the days of sales last Harry Potter book or the video game Halo 3, but in a much more fun and bizarre, with shows and people dressed as characters from each of the stories.
do not know if it's because too much money or because they lack social life, but there is a consumerist fever, it is well known by everyone. And it is so well known that, that's not what I analyze in this note. This is the kickoff for think of other variants of this voracious consumerism. After all, these "products" play a role, at least entertain. It is also true that there was no need to be first or be 24 hours waiting in line, but everyone does with his time as he pleases. But on the other hand, there are other "products" that one sees in stores or on TV that one was surprised that someone will buy (because if they continue to sell with such enthusiasm, it is because someone decides to buy). Here are some examples:

is true that many people are uncomfortable with the safety belt of the car, but use law (not to mention the benefits it brings). It is seen that someone who this happened, I had a teddy bear in hand, and invented the "Tiddy Bear" or as others call it "Titty Bear", or a stuffed degenerate. Please believe me, here the infomercial:

If you're not a millionaire, you do not want really, because as people Bippie (as hippie but b) is as easy as sending a text message!. Here you tell how to do to have mansions, imported cars and all the fortune that you sing!:


(I can say is about the Egyptian Sphinx which is?)

What comes next is no waste, a Brazilian advertising the 80: Anemokol, vitamin century ... It has everything, even a dwarf. Do not know how to describe it, look!, Look !!!!!:



Among these ads, or something, there happened to be a classic, almost cult in Argentina: Rejuvensex. I think with that name does not have to clarify it too deque. Who does not ever heard the phrase "Not again said"?. Someone took the time to upload it to youtube, miss.

Nothing more useful than a straight dog ... (WTF?!)
not let me put the video here, but I leave the link ...

If I found something more useful ... a pen that becomes a fishing rod!. The height of not knowing who invent ...


Finally, there's everything for now, I'm tired of looking (and laughing). Soon, it is very likely to be a second installment of this ... there is so much material worth.

Broken Capillaries On Breats

TV: "Knowing" is not fun

decades ago on TV there were several proposals that had to do with the public. Our parents (Argentina) recall even cycles as Odol Question "and we have images in our memory" Planting Time ", this by naming two programs trying to explore in some depth in the knowledge of a participant, either about Greek mythology, soccer, music or technology aero - space. There was also another waterfall question and answer programs, more general, so to speak, but "light", but they also had to do with reward knowledge. The guy who knows gets the money or the blender.
not have to be a great analyst to realize that once these formats were hits on the rating sheets, because they accumulate in the television schedules and no channel lacked a program. Even in some cases was the star of programming in prime time.
Over time, this type of transmission began to disappear gradually, to be absent from the screens, I dare say, worldwide. There were only some scraps. Give two examples of the TV Argent.
In "The Last Passenger," students answer questions at a time (with multiple choice, do not press so much), but the same program where another focuses on games based on visual memory, get the clothes to the pretty girls of staff and ending with the shower, so (by the way men make a stand on the safe read, women and forgiveness, I just want to graph):



On the other hand, the program Susana Gimenez each section is well-known "Unbeatable", which is fine, people are showing a lot of culture, but within the same show is another piece dedicated to the "Labyrinth of Dogs" (If anyone ever saw him, yes, put dogs through a maze, as is.)
The concept of "Program entertainment ", no doubt, changed a lot. I remember recently, in primetime to one of the main channels (Telefe), led by one of the highest-paid entertainers in the country as Julian Weich, a program was based on the participant will guess that post had white lights without running into the red. An hour and a half "that." Awards basically holed carom.
Not to mention that you are asked to send an SMS and start answering questions. Again, thanks to the company that lent me the phone service was falling (but is priceless), took the opportunity to participate in one of them, led by Nico Repetto irregular. Never forget I asked "In which continent is Australia?" and the options were "a) Europe, b) Africa c) Asia." Stunned at the inability to say the correct answer (for those who do not know is Oceania), I played for the "c" to see what happened. Seconds later I get a message saying: "Right!". Draw your own conclusions.
Someone, after reading this could tell me that people today are less intelligent or more ignorant than it was years ago. I would not dare to draw such a conclusion, but if I dare say that the massive public these days not amused knowledge, "know" stop being entertaining. Today they prefer other things, that require less attention, be able to do something else while watching TV, or directly, not thinking. TV as an escape from reality perhaps. And neither is wrong, well, history is cyclical say, maybe in a few years, Pancho Ibáñez stop doing commercials for milk and yogurt, and then ask questions on Channel 13.

Where In Seattle Do They Accept Canadian Coins

Cinema and Death of Ideas

<--- (Hermoso Collage que me mande, no?)

In this part time, review the charts of releases is as close to a Deja Vu. It seems that Hollywood writers committed mass suicide (perhaps over the issue of wages not ever fix it), and producers had to choose green: Recycling ideas.
review some of the premieres of the last two years: Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, Die Hard 4, Saw 4, Scary Movie 4 ... !!!!. Rocky 6 This, more than a list of films, is more like a kind of mathematical formula to destroy the world. Or, if that's it. In addition to this heightened
string of sequels, which prove the fact itself dela lack of imagination (voluntary or involuntary) of the Hollywood machine, other methods of recycling, for example, taking old characters (the film or comic) and reversals for the umpteenth time on the screen. Addition of that Spider-Man, Batman find, with the camouflage title Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Superman, and Superman Returns little flattered, and many more resurrections: Herbie, The Pink Panther, Fantastic 4, Transformers, Sin City, 300 ... and reappear in 2008: Indiana Jones and Rambo, in a nursing home I guess.
Not to mention the film versions of literary works. Although these are a bit more "forgivable" (to put it in some way), ultimately focus on the fantasy genre, resembling each other enough. At a time is not known if this watching The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter or Chronicles of Narnia. O The Chronicles of Harry and his rings, or something. To squeeze even more so these "No ideas, stories are chosen that are already recycled in itself, with a number of volumes of at least three ...
Ojo, no one says that these movies are all bad, that's not necessary, Problem is "No Idea."
When trying to analyze the reasons why the choice of recycling before seeking any new idea, we entered a sort of vicious cycle between producers and audiences. Ie produce films producers know that you will like the public, proven formulas, but at the same time, people have no more options to do what the studios do. Obviously, we are talking only about the big releases, those companies that give them more publicity and marketing, but in turn, are the most watched films ... again the circle. The common spectator, obviously going to go see the movie that tell of its existence, and will not waste time looking in small rooms the last half length of any Iranian, or a Swedish experience making a movie 7 hours potus showing how one grows in the courtyard of his home to symbolize the need for the birth of a new social revolution (Besides, these films can be super original, but no, just good ...). The guy wants to watch a movie, smart, and is fantastic.
In short, either because the public wants it or because the producers did not want to risk, the cinemas are still full of titles with numbers and characters that we saw all our lives, and continue to see .... And our grandchildren will continue wearing Spider-Man. Because they are, I make a new He-Man more manly or the Super Champions where the court is less than 4 kilometers? ... Eye, it seems that more than one employer liked the idea.
