Enter my new site and enjoy the video and blogging content I have compiled for YOU the viewing public. A saucy combination of my irreverent views, opinions, comedic musings and a plethora of social and cultural observations that will amuse, enlighten and entertain you. Please do visit as you will see things I could not possibly say on FB. They are so politically incorrect that even the ALCU refuses to defend my right to offend the viewing public. This is Jerry uncensored!!! Watch out, don’t be offended and let the RIOALITY begin…away we go!
TELEVISION SUCKS MORE THAN EVER, AND WAY TOO MANY COMMERCIALS
And now for my latest rant. We pay top dollar for cable tv service AND they make us sit through a torturous amount of commercials. I understand in order to get good programming you need money that advertising provides, but except for some good older movies the programming sucks. And the channels that do play good films play the same ones over and over and over again. IFC has independent films, some of which are good, But they don’t realize you cannot put on the same commercial every seven min. during the broadcast. It will just make the consumer resent the product, especially when it’s a Geiko or Progressive commercial. Nobody’s going to watch, we all channel surf anyway, so you cannot win.
And the new shows. CUPCAKE wars, are they serious. It’s all about advertising demographics and every network, like A&E, The Food Network, Sundance Channel, Travel Channel, National Geographic are all copying each other running these sensationalistic, lowest common denominator type shows. National Geographic has morphed into a cheesy generic action format.
Man Vs Food, watching a guy stuff 12 pounds of ribs, hot wings, and double fried onion rings into his sweating face. And I like the guy, but as a running show? How about the guy who eats bugs and snouts. And I’ve seen Anthony Boudain eat enough chicken asshole and drink homemade tequila with a group of Mexicans while a pig roasts in a hole in the ground. All MTV/VH1 awards shows should be axed as of yesterday.
