What in the world is going on?

Take a few minutes, turn on the tv (preferably during the "local news" section, and don't skip the commercials!), watch it for about fifteen minutes, and ask yourself these questions:

How does the person that is talking feel about their voice? How do they use it? Do they think about it before they open their mouth?

Is there music in the background? What kind of music? How does it make you feel?

What cultural allusions do you notice?

Is there anything that is obviously supposed to be funny? Is it?

What phrases are repeated within a news segment or a commercial?
What "earmarks" remain consistent segment to segment?

What colors do you notice? What color of clothes do the people wear? Why? Compare the women and the men? Their clothes, their hair, their eyes. . .

Does anyone have a speech impediment?

Who is responsible for this?

Who thought this would be a good idea?

Why do people watch this?

I am so incredibly confused by the whole setup - and by this point, I have a headache.
