SMS to TV
Aaah, MTV and TMF (which is our Dutch equivalent of MTV).
Frontline for the young generation. The perfect way to keep in touch with other people as wasted as yourself. Being 20 years old, I did not grow up with the Internet, and mobile phones. It wasn't usual that anybody could be reached anywhere, anytime. If you called someone at home, and they weren't there, well, tough luck.
I really don't understand what's great about wasting your money on sending text messages to some really overpriced company, to get your (usually useless) text featured on TV.
"Hey, my sweeetie, I luv you, and never want to loose you !"
-And bang, that's about 1,50 bucks down the drain. And then they complain that more young people have money problems.
Old-fashioned as I might be, I'd rather say something like that to the person. In person, really. Would also save me the 1,50 bucks, which I could put to better use.
Honestly, why would anybody want to waste their money on saying stuff like that to an audience that really doesn't care shit about what you think ? Anybody knows it, please fill me in on it.
Right now, there's some sort of game show going on on TMF. A Call-TV difficulty level question is asked on screen, and you can send a message, saying the correct answer. I don't know what you get for getting the correct answer, and I doubt that anybody does. But people still answer the questions.
Well, call me old.
Leave a comment here, if you can tell me the sense of any of the things I just named.
Coming up tomorrow : "Internet Chat Rooms (escaping reality in possibly the saddest way possible)"
