Daily Show

There was a really cool line from the interview with Bill Cramer of Mad Money. Jon said "Now we're both sell snake oil, but we sell ours as snake oil while you market it as some medicinal tonic."

Or something like that.

But the idea that a show can honestly say its dishonest while still critiquing others for non-transparently being dishonest is pretty positive. It also shows the new direction of the Show. No longer is it Jon's job to be the man who pokes fun at the administration, because the American people like the new administration, particularly Jon's demographic of young liberals. So the new job is defending the little guy, an odd stance for a pundit who labeled himself an outside observe who puts everything at arms length.

There was this other good point about how the demographic has changed, that the new face of crime is well dressed white people who stole millions of dollars from the american public. It then put up a picture of President Obama and Berny Madoff, asking which one of these do you expect to be president and which one do you suppose would have money problems?

I like new direction, but I kind of miss the Skippy McDumbutt and Vader power hour, the world seemed less precarious then.

Lie To Me and Adspace

Lie to Me is House without the medical gobidly gook.

Dr Lightman is this shows Dr. House, but without fake American accent and cane. Same amount of showboating and productive jackassiness. Theirs the not very funny pretty guy, who this time is braining rather then Australian, the perky burnette now blond is replaced by a latino women so they able to skip the black guy character all together. Theirs the curly haired professional like women, who replaces Cutty, but works for this House so the dinamic is slightly diffrent.
But the plot line is pretty similar; oh, we have a puzzle we need to solve in 40 mintues, with our speicalized skill set! Oh, theres a twist, OH GOD ANOTHER TWIST, oh wait, it was this simple thing all along!!

Its really not a bad show, but the idea of it is for cast to be able to read facial experssion and deduct to solve the projects they've been hired to conuslt on. Which means actors have to act as real as possible, which most times fall's short, since their suppost to be acting one way to lie, then have microexpressions that tell Dr Lightman and the audiance the truth.

Also why is it that Hulu keeps advertising 1. Charities it supports, 2. Cars, and 3. Various Vertiaties of Vodka. I think it subliminal messaging for our minds to create aweful stories where a van full of nuns off to help orphans get drunk and go to Vegas instead.
