I had just finished my second helping of the wife's soup at about 6:45 PM this evening and somehow the satellite receiver's remote control found its way into my hand. To be honest, that's where it normally resides, but tonight was notable due to the copious humor found on the programming guide.
The President's address started at 7 PM local time, and the program immediately following was "The Biggest Loser". Being a proud American, I naturally detected an obvious disrespect for the office. I then laughed out loud when I realized the show was probably placed there by some disgruntled Charlie Brown fan whose favorite show was displaced for another presidential event.
There were several other well-timed programming selections:
- Extreme Terror Rides
- Scare Tactics
- Aftermath: Population Zero
- Ultimate Knockouts
- True Lies ( I saw this movie entry just as the President was telling the West Point Cadets that there had been no delay in making his decision to send more troops! No kidding, I couldn't make this stuff up! )
- Don't Cry Now ( obviously a shout-out to the very French-looking John Kerry or some other anti-victory, former Obama fans )
- Parallel Universe ( also scheduled for 7 PM, spooky )
- So You Think You Can Dance ( see the comment for "True Lies"... )
