I am very disturbed by the continual repeating of the video on all stations

I can understand what you are saying. It will work to certain extent I think.

Message 17895786

I think other things are going on too. This is how I feel for a start -g-

For example I recently signed up for a digital cable package for TV and internet. Loads of channels and bandwidth. I will be canceling the contract. Too many adverts for a start. Same ones on many channels.

The RSPCA [Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals] has recently just got on the bandwagon. Many adverts on many channels over and over again. I have ensured them that I do not approve of this practice.

F**k these b*st*rds who feel it so necessary to foul the communication channels with irritating saturation of advertising medium. A revolution is sorely needed!

I decided not to watch TV today. so far successful. Tomorrow when CNN starts on the next set of tapes, this will be 'old news' and nobody (hopefully) will replay it.

cheers, kumar

When I learned that this would be aired, I made up my mind not to watch it. Not good for the mental health.

Just got back from the video store, the kids and I are going to watch "Jurassic Park 3."

We all watched "Signs" last night, we thought it was creepy and scary even though the plot had a lot of holes in it. Worth a watch if you are into stuff like that. By the guy who did "The Sixth Sense," not as good but almost.

People who would not go out of their way to give a sandwich to a starving child go bonkers over animals being killed. "PETA" will now join the war on Al Queda. :^)
