Radio Gaga?

OMG! Our television is weird today. Something is wrong with the picture tube I think. Or maybe because there is something wrong with the satellite up there in the sky. Black screen television with only sound system functioning? There is that old image of television that is doing such havoc on a new age flat screen television ... it keeps me wondering somehow. How could a less than a year television will act haywire again? We just bought this sometime last year after the first television was leaking with radiation.

Okay I'll let that TV works or function like a RADIO instead. It doesn't matter for now.

It was just last night when I heard about a TV host questioning one of the game contestants which one he can't live without. He said he cannot live without TV. Right! Some people can't live without TV.

With the internet boom in this generation of high technology some people take for granted the value of television and most of all radio. During the war era it was radio the most modern technology that the war survivors have to have for their survival. It's the medium of communication to find out where the safest place on earth. The radio announcer and commentator tells everyone where to hide and where to go away from the collaborators and from the colonizers. With too many radio hosts, television networks, and many reporters and paparazzi who is the most honest, trustworthy, and credible. Because in times of commercialization and controversial issues of rating who's the best amongst the best popularity wise you wont believe that it's the RATING that matters whether the news is newsworthy or not and whether the news is for real or just a phony. Whatever!

For once, a movie was made to represent and reflect how news are made. It was through collaboration. It was highly syndicated for entertainment purposes.

So, what now? Believe it or not?

Believe that flat screen television is simply a television that wont last a lifetime. I wonder where I place the warranty and guarantee, hmm...

It was not my computer got toasted from the heat but it's the television. The plasma flat screen television. At least it's not the people here at home. Thank God that it's not us who were affected by the heat wave but the television.

Years ago when the very first TV given to us by my father-in law was hit by some kind of laser through the window when I was watching the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. I can't forget such event. At least it's not event horizon. The second time when the second flat screen leaked radiation made me sick. Now the third time that television in our room which was newly bought is acting up today without picture on it because it's black screen has BLACK color on it that blinks moving picture (in motion) then totally black screen like a smudge then nothing at all just plain black screen but  with sound only. Pulsating lights, blinks black and then lights that is totally irritating and annoying. The sound is perfectly okay though. It's more of a joke I think that our TV is now a radio.
