Dispatches From The Front Line OF Popular Culture

i've been watching american tv, folks! and i'm finding it strangely addictive. i even enjoy the adverts. there are lots of commercials for different types of mop. one has the soundtrack of 'don't you want me baby'. for a mop, a bit melodramatic, surely. on nbc news channel, a respectable news channel i wouldve thought or at least compared to fox, they were running a story about a piece of salami that spelt god and i dont think theyd had word from the vatican that this was a bonafied miracle or anything. this is what happens when you 24/7 programming to fill. i saw those guys from little britain in an american comedy. its a good thing i cant remember the name of it because then you wont run the risk of typing it into you tube and actually seeing it as its really bad. its sort of sub blackadder, not blackadders 11-1V because obviously everything is below that but sub blackadder 1, you know the rubbish one set in the middle ages that they never repeat it. also it seems these days that MTV and VH1 dont actually show any music related programming, they just screen dating shows. im not exaggerating here, really just dating shows and nothing else. somehow i got really into one called 'daisy of love' where all these 'rockers' and wooing this 'rock chick' called daisy. at first i was like woah, why would anyone want her? shes not even pretty and shes mean, dumb and dresses like a slut, but strangely shes started to grow on me. also theres this other old guy called ricky who im not sure if hes her dad or just her mentor but actually looks like he might have been cool once upon a time. anyway i think you can watch it online on VH1 if you really want to see what my life is like now. oh and the other funny thing about these shows is all the contestants have to use psydonyms, god knows why but its amusing. i was watching one where all these girls are trying to get with this 'rnb star' and they called themselves 'chardonney', 'unique', 'stilts' etc. the other thing ive been watching a lot is this documentary on E! about hugh heftners girlfriends, shockingly they actually come across quite well. one was learning how to be a trapeze artist. respect.
