Eerie.

This was an eerie coincidence!!!

The last thing, infact the last frame I saw on tv last night and the first frame I saw on tv this morning were the exact same things! And that was the end of a trailor of a horror show!!! It was as if the tv was frozen all night and came to life this morning from where it left off last night!!!! And that too a horror show...man, was that any indication of whats in store today? Well, they say(and thats me and many copies of me), that watching horror shows first thing in the morning brings a looot of good luck. Let me see.

Generally, I am not averse to watching horror shows. I mean, I am not easily intimidated. Thanks to a beautiful cousin of mine, who has a strange mental disorder that makes her fall in love with ghosts and ghost shows. And to my dismay, when she visits my place or I visit her's, I am her default prey for company. But there is one thing I am pretty careful about. I dont watch them before I go to bed. I am a staunch follower of the saying that the mood and milieu of your dreams are set by what you go through just before you go to bed. And I am sure that is why we have a lot of 'good' programs by late night.

Talking of TVs. Here is something I really dont understand. This one is for the ad gurus.

It is a regular part of ads of television sets to show how unclear some picture can be on some tv and how clear it becomes when viewed on the promoted brand. And of late, the emphasis is on how close to reality the visuals and sound effects are. Some ads stop at showing the surprise of new owners of the brand. But majority of the ads move on to show a glimpse to us too. Wanting us to see the clarity and feel that reality.

1. If I was able to view the clarity and feel the effects of the brand promoted, on my tv, and as in most cases, the tv that is promoted is of a different brand than the one I own, then why would I go for the product that is promoted? I mean, is it not stupidity to expect the viewer to see the difference in quality and feel the effects through whichever brand he is using, and then decide to buy your brand, unless your brand is less than half the resale value of the his tv????

2. If I was not able to view the clarity and feel the difference, then I would never trust the product being promoted. Because the intelligent ad makers expect me to see the difference through my tv, which itself is wrong, and if I was also as dumbly intelligent, I would think something is wrong with their product.

So my conclusion: The ads are as dumb as they get. And add to it, the flying jets and running horses, the effects of which are supposed to excite me, it becomes a complete farce.
