Assholes don't get that. They just get the blood and gore and decide, "I wanna be TV's Tarrintino." <br /> <br />So, what or who has foisted this shit on us? I believe that just like the music business, it is a massive, misdirected ego that knows no boundaries. <br /><br />These pretenders can only try to copy art, instead of create it, and when the corporate creative department is filled with corporate sychophants, an episode like "The Bridge" sates their ego and their corporate needs. <br /><br />In the music business we call them posers. At CTV they are called content advisors or producers. <br /><br />In music, bad imitative art dies on the studio floor, no one can get past the first song. <br /><br />In Television production, because so much has been invested financially and personally in the crap, it still makes it to television out of economic and ego necessity. <br /><br />CTV will soon be rankling enough educated viewers that it wouldn't surprise me to see an organized boycott of sponsors that align themselves with this malignancy.<br /> <br />Like cancer tumours, a malignant one must be removed or it will choke the life out of the body.<br /><br />A malignant tumour has been growing inside CTV's brain trust. Ivan Fecan should take note and action! <br /><br />As Lennon sang,"How do you sleep?"Joel Scottnoreply@blogger.com
