Television Caters. Religion and fate create debate. Who watches the Watchmen? You are what you link.

Big Brother seriously scares me. Its gone beyond a joke to a sick experiment involving a group of misfits that almost defy stereotypes. Beyond the realms of Heat and Hello magazine, the extremes in that human aquarium are like particles colliding in a nuclear reactor. So i suppose you could call it good television. Religion came up again, which is always a controversial venus flytrap, between a male and female muslim. One was let down by the others practice of the faith. This sounds like situations everywhere but live on Channel 4 with the nation and Ofcom watching, im sure we'll see it in the newspapers, on the websites and all around the blogs tomorrow.

"Big Brother, broadcast on Channel 4. Ofcom is aware of viewer concerns and the issues raised by complainants. Ofcom is currently monitoring the situation and will decide on whether to launch an investigation."

The BBC iPlayer; initially i was very excited by this prospect but once i was presented with the options of what to watch i was dumfounded. What have the BBC broadcast in the last week that i actually want to step back in time and catch up on? Well, there is the news. And maybe the Apprentice? No, not at all, old news. Ok so what are my options? "Have i got news for you?" or "Top Gear" - yes, ok. Touche BBC, there is always Top Gear. As well as Kidulthood on BBC Three, which is about an hour and a half of brutal brilliance. The iPlayer's ok, the res on full screen is pretty weak and the viewing variety isn't really there. But for its regularity of video updates it proves some purpose.

The new Sky+ promotion. The fact that you can record a whole series, as it is broadcast over a period of a few months, with the simple press of a single button, is supposed to be some sort of incentive. This is why Americans are fat, because everything is too easy. But we are all to blame in the lethargy of binary reality When i consider this precognitive digital media that does everything for us, like externalising our thought processes with hyperlinks and directing what we watch via recommendation, i feel very chlostrophic. I want my associations to be my own but with the ubiquity of information entertainment i wonder if they ever were.
