Last night DSTV decided to run a few tests in the land of tv, it was quite interesting really. During House (now on in place of Boston Legal. Nothing can replace that quality show but House comes close to it) DSTV attempted to break the world record in advert breaks! Holy moses they really were pushing it last night. At one stage the ad breaks were longer than the actual show. Ridiculous. This did give me time, though, to uncover another little test DSTV were performing in tv land. MTV and VH1 became one. Two channels playing the same music with a 10 second delay. At first I thought it was a freakish coincidence but then it occurred to me that DSTV were, in fact, attempting mind control. I say attempting because it damn near worked! For 20 minutes I sat there, eyes glued to the tv, fascinated at what I was witnessing, wondering how long it would take for them to realize what was going on. Thankfully, though, I was pulled away from it all by Phillip.
Who's Phillip? Well he's the guy who installed our home security system. The same home security system that triggers its alarm whenever it feels like it. It can be 3 in the morning or during your favourite tv program and BAM. It's as though it too has a mind of its own and just likes reminding us that it, not us, is in control.
More interesting news: I'm reading a quality book at the moment. Full review in good time. It's a George Orwell book called... Nineteen Eighty-Four.
