WIVK: Voices from the Front

[bteague2]

So I'm listening to 107.7 WIVK in Knoxville and they do Voices from the Front every couple of days. so today they have an Army LTC in the Anbar provence and a Marine First Sgt. So they open the phone lines to people to ask them questions and this women calls up and says "i missed american idol last night and i was wondering if you knew who won." so the DJ thought he was talking about the troops tv and internet access so he asks the LTC and 1st sgt who good their internet access is. The women goes "well it's pretty good, but i'm just outside the city and it goes out sometimes." the DJ cuts her off and moves on to a question and hangs up. what the hell? people are retarded.

These guys are in a ****ty place doing a job that most people wouldn't consider doing, and often doing it without complaining or anything like that, and she calls to ask about american idol

i guess that's all

When people sit down and watch "Reality TV" I wonder if they realize they are being played?

I don't watch the news and that is the only thing "real" on tv.

American Idol (from what I understand) was "sabotaged" by Howard Stern to prove that he was the "King of all Media."

Real World? Yeah, 7 "beautiful people" picked to live in a house and show what it's like when people "start being real." Yeah Right. When was the last time 7 20 somethings were able to live in a "fat pad" in the middle of some of the most expensive cities when they don't have a "real" job. Oh and they get to take a "vacation" because it is so stressful being them.

The Bachelor/Apprentice? A bunch of crap. Yeah, Donald Trump really needs a TV show to choose the person to run his companies and some dude (or chick) is really going to find their "perfect match" in the dregs of people that the network has picked out for them.

Cops - okay, that was a good show when it came out and they followed one precinct for a week going in to their "personal" lives. Now we just go and pick out the "juicy" arrests from around the country.

I am sure there are a lot more "reality" tv shows out there, but they sicken me so I will move on.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for our men and women who put themselves in harms way so I can sit here in my air conditioned office typing on a nice computer with fast internet access. God Bless them all.

Thank you and have a nice day.
