TV Spam

Posted at 11:52 pm MST to Media

I've been watching the Biography channel -- Midsomer Murders, Poirot and Sherlock Holmes -- while I work on the next installment of Techlands (which should be ready for posting in another day or two).

I have been struck by the fact that a large number of the advertisements that appear on cable channels, expecially late at night by East Coast standards, bear a strong resemblance to the slimier varieties of spam. Get rich quick scams. Advertisements for possibly dodgy software. Ambulance chasing lawyers trying to get clients for class-action suits.

Ewww.
