...wondering about the world

Dear Fighter,

what has happened to this world. Today, i realized for the first time a TV ad on German TV for Betty TV and I lost the last faith that I had into humanity.

To summarize, Betty TV is a piece of electronic that is basically a mobile phone loaded with a gaming software on which you can play games that relate to a TV show that is shown on German TV. Basically, the presenter asks a questions and you are able to answer by clicking the right button and maybe you win. Amazing, the IT part of it, but what has happend to us. Game shows were bad enough, then came live "call in" quize shows, then a tv channel dedicated to it (9Live - that actually makes money and runs profiable) and now this.

Reality - OK, Interaktive - OK but this.... I can't put it into real words but it is annoying me that an organization can actually make money with this. I am not condemming the organizations, NO, I am condemming humanity for participating.

However, in essence, give the people what they want / ask for.

Keep Fightin'

Jochen
