serynI'm doing 2 social things on the same day. I think there's probably some sort of prize for that, right?
I also refrained from making judgmental comments about someone else's entertainment preferences. Out of context, it's kind of funny, "Aren't you too old to like shallow stupid stuff?" mostly that's funny because I'm still watching Glee, myself. Honestly, I'd be less embarrassed for watching porn.
I watched the House from last week this morning (when it came up for free Hulu). There were gobs of commercials for Touch. Including ostensibly unbiased sources which said if we weren't watching it, we should. But Touch is overtly religious. It says God is in the connections between people and the world can only still exist if there are 36 righteous people in it. I get that there are a huge number of people who are religious. And I get that this number is ever increasing as laws tighten down and begin to actively discriminate against the non-believers. (There's a huge social bonus to toeing the line of people's expectations. That doesn't make it right, but there is a reward.) But I don't think any unbiased reviewer should tout an overtly religious show as being excellent viewing that everyone should watch. That was offensive.
Personally I'm astonished by the number of bible-related games that constantly show up as frequently purchased on my Kindle. I keep thinking, "Are there people who want that? Really?" But apparently so. Snarkily, it surprises me less when they're wordsearches than for trivia and crossword puzzles.
I owe some people replies, but it's pleasant out and I'm going to spend some time enjoying that first.
