ii desu ne...

Satellite TV is an amazing thing. I feel much more human today after a reasonable amount
of sleep (plus that extra hour due to the clocks changing back) and on this relaxing
Sunday afternoon I came across what I originally thought was a completely pointless
channel.

If you have Sky TV, you can literally spend an entire day channel flicking, even
without the Movie or Sports channels. From shopping channels, Live auction channels,
religious fanaticism channels, to the semi-naked ladies in good taste Fashion TV.
Once evening comes, you get the text message dating channels (each text only costs £1!),
the remarkable Babecast channels (mostly naked ladies who apparently talk live to viewers
whilst fondling each other at text request). However, I would still have to question the
entertainment value of the Advert Channel. Just as the name suggests, the entire point
of this channel is to show adverts all day long. And it's great!
As long as you're over the age of 15. You get to request your favourite adverts - and they
have a website where you can download such classics as the JR Hartley Flyfishing advert
(Yellow Pages), the Secret Lemonade Drinker ad (R Whites), and a recent favourite of mine -
the HSBC advert with the eels. Here's the url:

Speaking of adverts, I'm currently obsessed with an advert by 3 featuring a giant body bopping jellyfish. It's a must-see!! You can see it here :)
