Direct TV Fraud and Violation of the Do Not Call List

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

The deal sounded too good to be true, eh. Well, yeah. It all started with that guy who called one night to get you to try DirecTV. And then there was all that fine print. The sales person said it was just routine, right. But you had taken the time to sign up for the Federal Trade Commission’s Do Not Call List. Well, you took that call. And then all you really wanted was that good deal they offered you. What happened? Back in 2003, the FTC started the List to protect consumers from unwanted sales calls. Companies must remove registered consumers from their marketing lists and not call them. But many consumers continue to receive phone calls, and the FTC tracks companies with more than 100 complaints.

NO, To DirecTV Or Any TV In The Classroom

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Some historians have indicated that education was actually better in the old days, when children memorized the Declaration of Independence and spent hours learning to parse sentences. Now, however, schools choose to offer students Directv in the Classroom, PBS, satellite TV, and other televised educational opportunities. With all of these shows available, there is a danger of erring on the side of too much entertainment in schools.

Are You Ready For HDTV?

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

Currently, you can view pretty much all television programming with analog TV sets, but the FCC has made it necessary for all television broadcasting companies to switch over to being able to send their TV signals in HDTV format by 2007, and that is not very far away. Once you view television programming with the combined technologies of HDTV and a LCD monitor, you will wonder how you managed without it all this time. Broadcasts made in HDTV however can reach up to 1080p, which is a standard where 1080 lines of information are shown on the screen and they are all shown together in a progressive scan instead of interlaced. On a plasma screen the calculation is different and there are just over 1,000 lines and nearly the same number of pixels. With a better knowledge of the CRT technology, LCD Screens, Plasma HDTV, and projectors you can make a better decision on what type of big screen TV you want to have.

Family Guy

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Family Guy is a great TV show. Building on previous cutting edge television such as the Simpsons and South Park, Family Guy pushes the envelope a step further.

The Griffins, the average family next door, must contend with each other and their bizzare neighbors. There’s Glen Quagmire, the perverted neighbor who constantly looks for new ways to score with young chicks. He’s accidentally slept with men, harassed Meg’s slumber party friends, indulges in every kind of get-rich-quick scheme and is the trouble maker of the neighborhood. His classic catch phrase is “Giggedy Giggedy Geeeeeeh”

TV’s Craig Fergusan is a guilty pleasure!

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

Are you a fan of of Late Night tv’s Craig Fergusan??? I am!

Craig Fergusan has this fiery spirit and gung ho attitude that once you get used to his personality, his performance rises above the rest and puts this man right up there in brilliance aside great comedic minds and the other great comedians I admire.

Craig Fergusan reminds me of brilliant people like Bill Maher, George Carlin, Ali G (Sascha Cohen) ,Conan, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey and Jim Carrey.

Funny Peculiar, Or Funny Funny? Videos To Have You Gasping On The Couch

Monday, November 20th, 2006

You know, I have found that what I consider funny videos today are not what I would have appreciated as funny ten years ago. I just found new movies to laugh out loud at recently that back then I might have found amusing or worth a chuckle. Age is not the factor I point to here in deciding what is funny. What is funny is subjective, and depends upon the mindset, upbringing, and overall experiences of each group or individual, so how about we consider a variety of funny videos in hopes that each of us will agree with at least one offering on the funny videos list?

David Blaine - The Illusionist?

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Oddly, David Blaine continues to be described as “illusionist David Blaine” in the press, though, of course, his tricks are entirely illusion-free. I’m certainly not the first ones to point out that the feats of “magician” David Blaine have nothing to do with magic (for the most part). Most of his specials centers on his Houdini like stunts… hence he has been called “the hip-hop Houdini,” “the Michael Jordan of magic,” and “the master mystifier”. Say what you will about Blaine’s unique brand of magic but he always follows through and does exactly what he says he’s going to.

An article about the latest movies   by Bob Renner

How many of the latest movies are 50 percent CG? Yes, I’m talking about computer graphics. This is one of the wonderful aspects of film now-a-days. Not because it requires less of the actors or film crew, but because it allows us to believe. Everything looks so real that we forget we are watching a fantasy world. That’s truly a great aspect of film. You can get lost in it for a while. More recently I watched the movie, Silent Hill, and it did a fabulous job with special effects. I don’t know how they would have made the film without them. On a different note, the cool thing about going to the movie theater these days is the convenience.

Anne Of Green Gables, An Inspiration To Little Girls All Over The World

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Anne Of Green Gables had characters that I, and my friends, could relate to. Although I loved Anne and would have loved to be more like her, it was her friend Dianna that I knew was just like me.
