TMJ4 is no hero of mine, tonight

October 2nd, 2006 Elliot

I’m watching one of my new favorite TV shows, Heroes, on the high-def version of channel TMJ4 in Milwaukee.

Well, I’m trying to anyway.

Unfortunately 45% of the screen is filled with a stupid freaking graphic telling me about the thunder storm that I can SEE out the damn window

If you really need to warn me about inclement weather, free to scroll a quick warning across the screen. Do NOT obscure nearly half of my screen with a completey meaningless graphic to feed your own stupid weather-watching egos.

    You’d think that a digital TV signal could give you a choice as to whether you wanted to be pestered by weather graphics.

    I just hate that! And then of course they have to cut in at a crucial moment of the show you’re watching to tell you exactly the same thing that’s taking up a huge chunk of the screen. What makes them think we’re all so stupid we can’t tell there’s thunder and lightening outside? Oh yeah… sorry… it’s part of the MSM, and we’re all too stoopid to look out the window unless they tell us to.

    Is there anyone alive who doesn’t know how a tornado works by now?

    They treat every storm as if it’s the first one they’ve ever seen.
