Daytime TV

It is Friday, am feeling better today.
Did watch some daytime television earlier, made me desperately wanting to do something else. Why are these people in these shows always so extremely happy? It seems that the closer to midday the program is on air, the happier the show host is. “It is 12:00 and today we are helping this elderly couple fix up their mobile home, we’re all very excited about it, ohh yeah” So I started to flick from channel to channel, hoping. “Today we are helping this woman sell her “crap” on Ebay. Look at this flowerpot, it got to be worth at least two pounds. High five” In the end I ended up at the more “serious” shows: “My daughter doesn’t like my new boyfriend, even though the lie detector test shows he has been faithful”
I gave up
Luckily there is always something cool to find on the web. This clip made me smile

A recommendation: Try watching "Al Jazeera" in English, if it's on your channel list. It's interesting to watch how they often cut their stories differently from the other news channels.
