No this isnt a plea to you to join the religious fanatics waging war around the world but more a quick review of a programme i came across.
Now this programme is nuts, i would call it a reason for the abolition of public access television in the states.
normally i would not watch this tosh and discard it as religious propaganda, but having watched a few clips of the show and realising that this has more than your usual US televangelistic bull about it. The presenter who runs the show really seems to get into his character, albeit which ever puppets rear he has shoved his hand up.
I dont know if this is still running in the states though so who knows how relative this really is.
Now onto something more serious, i dont know how many people in our class have been keeping an eye on the industry and how it is running at the moment but a lot of television production companies are facing a bleak year or two ahead. Now some people may be worried, some may not care. i personally came only say that the one thing we can do is to go ahead and get our degrees, as hopefully this 'blight' will reduce the amount of crap telly on the air and bring back proper television shows. Come the end of this 'wave of destruction' that we are facing, not only inside our projected job field but also across all other business and commercial sectors we will probably be facing a lack of skilled individuals as people already doing the work we hope to get when leaving uni may well have moved onto pastures anew and there may well be the gaps that we need for us to do what we want.
