Why do we have to put up with the same 4 channels?

So these days anyone with access to digital TV gets the benefit of better quality pictures and better sound but also a lot more channels. Or so we think.

Yes there are channels like SBS 2 and ABC 2 but then take a look at the major commercial TV channels most have a HD and a few SD channels which seems great until you realise most of the this extra channels only play the same programs.

For example 7-1234 & 7HD pretty much act as one channel. WHY! This seems pointless to me. You have access to 4 channels but realistically only use one.

I hear that this is up for review in 2009 from the government

Max Payne - This is going to suck.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this movie is going to suck. Why?

- It's PG-13

“Just because it might be PG-13, doesn’t mean there won’t be action and excitement."

- Mark Wahlberg
Don't get me wrong hes cool guy and stuff, I just cannot see him as a dark brooding Max Payne.

- Using words like this to describe it

"There was no need for me to drop the ‘F’-bomb, y’know? John and I just made sure that Max has an arsenal of weapons and cool dialogue – which is far more powerful than just cussing all the time. "

The formula for a catchy news subject

Something something something harmful something something something studies suggest

Which incidently is the same formula for good starwars dialogue.

"Something something something Dark Side Something something something Jedi's"
source: Family Guy.

Don't bother offering any 'actual proof' to back up your claims all you have to do to make something catchy is add the words 'studies suggest' to the end of your news.

Take this real life example:

Eating a poor diet when pregnant or breastfeeding may cause long-lasting health damage to the child, animal studies suggest.

source: BBC News

and BTW did they really need to study this to find this out? You are what you eat. So if you eat crap your going to feel like crap.
