| <BOYD1981> | you know, i hate it when a channel suddenly goes quiet after a debate |
|
<BOYD1981> | it's like masturbating, and when you're finally about to ejaculate you hear somebody entering the house |
|
<BOYD1981> | or walking up the stairs |
|
<BOYD1981> | so you have to put it away until later |
|
<BOYD1981> | another reason i hate it is because you never know if it's because nobody has anything to say, or somebody took what was said a little too seriously and is sitting there a bit pissed off |
|
<BOYD1981> | show me an argument/debate/disagreement i haven't seen before and maybe, just maybe i might get a little pissed off |
|
<BOYD1981> | i'm more likely to get pissed off by something pissing me off |
|
<BOYD1981> | like developer and publisher and hellotomyfriendsandfamilyer logo animations before a game loads |
|
<BOYD1981> | and it even gets on my nerves before a movie |
|
<BOYD1981> | especially if it's on a dvd that won't let you skip it or go straight to the menu |
|
<BOYD1981> | to me that's propaganda, it's forcing you do watch something you don't want to |
|
<BOYD1981> | ofcourse you can't put your hands over your ears and close your eyes, because then you might miss the start of the movie, accidentally hit the skip back button instead of rewind and force yourself into being forced to watch the logos again |
|
<BOYD1981> | or you could watch the movie once, time how long it takes for the menu to appear or the movie to start, then turn around and face a clock, put your hands over your ears and count the seconds |
|
<BOYD1981> | but then if somebody walks in on you they'll wonder why you're ignoring what the clock is trying to tell you that's preventing you from watching the movie |
|
<BOYD1981> | so it's either watching something you're against, or having people think you talk to clocks |
|
<BOYD1981> | ofcourse you could do the same counting method, but turn the tv on to a different channel for a certain amount of time |
|
<BOYD1981> | but then somebody might walk in just as soon as you change the channel and think you were watching porn or the mobo awards or something like that |
|
<BOYD1981> | or, you could do the same but with the tv off |
|
<BOYD1981> | but then if somebody walks in and sees you sitting there with the dvd player running, the tv off and you with the remote in your hand that you've forgotten which button turns the tv on |
