TV shows recently viewed for the first time that were stupider than I expected them to be
1) Numb3rs
2) House
Maybe I'm just a hoity-toity snob.
TV shows recently viewed for the first time that I couldn't turn off
1) Ultimate Fighting Championship. I actually hate fighting, but still.
2) Chinese language news station. Best viewed with sound off, with Bartok in background.
Call me a hoity-toity snob. Again.
Helpful, or ambiguous?
Do these little illustrations with a hand holding an ATM card that's about to be stuck into the machine truly disambiguate the sense in which you're supposed to insert the card into the machine?Whenever I encounter such a picture, I somehow twist the issue around in my mind until I'm able to think, "No, it's still ambiguous," but now, absent the beep-beep-beep urgency of completing a transaction, I think the answer is "Yes, they do."
