Well, I watched the weather forecast, which somehow needed to be accompanied by music and graphics and a gushing presenter in case nobody would be able to take on this important information without every sort of visual and aural aid.
Next, there was a programme about "Survival in the Sahara".
At a point, the presenter, crawling on his hands and knees and gasping breathlessly at the camera, said "In the Sahara you need about 1 litre of water per hour, otherwise you are going to DIE!
Look, this little flask is all I've got....If I don't find a source of water soon...then I'm afraid I've had it...I'm already feeling the first symptoms of dehydration.
Now this is despite the Film Cameraman, Sound Recordist, Director, Make-Up Artist and Drivers/Roadies and Helicopter Back-up.
Do people really watch this crap and believe it?
Even the programmes are like the commercials....Jeez!
What a world.
cheers,
Ron
