Too Much Real Is Not Good For Your TV
Every weekend, I like to switch on my television, sit back, relax, and watch Jon Steward on CNN. (Didn't you know that CNN International broadcast a highlight reel of the Daily Show weekly outside of U.S.? They have to run a disclaimer before the show that states that this is not a news show.)
Unfortunately, every time I watch this program, I have this nagging feeling that the television is going to freeze any moment, and the irrating message "Buffering..." is going to scroll across the bottom of the screen.
Yes, I have been watching clips of the Daily Show on the web via RealPlayer, and I have been tortured too much by it. :-)
