MILF Island vs. Bad Guitar Hero Clips

The whole concept of YouTube has never excited me much. I mean I enjoy the opportunity of adding clips to this blog, but who'd want to sit for an hour and simply watch the stupid things that other people do? If I'm going to give up a half hour or more of my life watching a screen, I want what's on it to be professionally produced.

Luckily, it appears as if broadcasters are adapting to the new potential of the Net. It all deals with people not wanting to have to bend to someone else's schedule. With Tivo and other digital recorders, the idea of having to be home in order to not miss a show already seems like a quaint anachronism. I don't think most of us are going to be ready for high-definition Internet streaming for a while. Many other countries are better suited for fast, universal Internet access. In the Americas, we must contend with our vast geography and dispersed population.

I like NBC's 30 Rock. Satire is hard to pull off but this show seems to do it with ease. I sometimes give credit to the network for allowing so many sarcastic, and often self-critical references. Here Tina Fey takes on reality TV and cuts a little close to CBS's Survivor. Watch all 22 minutes of it now on Hulu.



If you're not in the US, try loading Hotspot Shield first. The program allows you to VPN to a US-based IP. It is easy to start and stop and a whole lot easier than messing around with permanent configuration on your computer. You only need to run it when you need to appear to be in the United States.Return to previous entry in archives.
