TV networks have a way of devolving into a narrow theme. For example, The Weather Channel has turned into a 24/7 reality show with all its programming about guys and their gadgets. A show about the iron men building skyscrapers. The Coast Guard and their boats and tools. Some show called the ice smashers (or something like that). One about ice truckers. Another one called the Reef Wranglers (sounds like the Wild Wild West under water). Some Australian dude taking pictures of everything and ranting on an on. All male and tech dominated. Not a woman to be seen anywhere, except when they do that little spot in the one-hour show when the dudes come home and tell the wives to make them a sandwich.
my favourite is the new trend for shows about antiques which are presented as being the height of rugged masculinity, like the stereotypical man's man now finds time between cutting down trees shirtless, wrestling with bears, playing poker in smoky blues bars and building houses with his bare hands to go for a spot of antiquing.
It's important for men to show their feminine side. And for all you guys out there, show your feminine side by stopping to ask for directions.
Me too. I need to start paying attention.. or you know what I think I'm just gonna avoid television as much as possible.
But it's still good to show your feminine side and ask for directions. Being masculine and having blind faith in gadgets can cause this kind of thing to happen, even to a woman. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/woman-drives-900-miles-gps-error-181605523.html "Woman drives 900 miles out of her way after GPS error"
All the reality shows are a bit of a joke. All you need to do is think of a dumb job and you want to film yourself doing and it's a TV show. I've already thought of one while typing. Haystack makers. "Ohh yerr ya know its a hard job n ya gotta have the right tractor to pull the stack together" You can send me the cheque ya cunts...
The Weather Channel here is all weather. Besides, women already have their stations. Lifetime, WE, OWN, Hallmark, etc.
there's also paper maps. are you suggesting that men should stop and ask for directions every single time they're going anywhere, just in case their GPS is broken? it seems like having blind faith in directions given by some random guy at the gas station would be more likely to end badly than having blind faith in a computer program designed to give directions.
Not good to have 100% faith in a gadget. Also not good to have an ego and drive round and round, too proud to ask for assistance.
