ADHDTV
The Onion recently carried a story about FCC regulation changes which will make ADHDTV the de facto standard in the US by 2007. This one got me laughing to myself so hard I had to close the door so it wouldn’t seem like I was going crazy.
The mandate to conform to the new format has already been met with some resistance, particularly from movie channels like HBO, live programs such as ABC’s Monday Night Football, and the History Channel, whose ambitious five-part, 10-hour historical documentary about World War II, slated for completion in late 2007, will have to be shortened to a six-minute montage of the war set to a medley of Ashlee Simpson hits.
Some networks, however, are embracing the change.
God, I love satire.
