Warning



Can there be any better advertisement? I often find myself late at night watching trash TV. Flipping aimlessly through channels looking for something to watch. I'm the sort of person who struggles against sleep. Drifting on the couch, achy and tired and wanting to go to bed seems preferable to actually going to bed.

Nothing on. Click. Nothing on. Click.

Then I see a warning. That's enough to stop me. And then I wait for it. The offense material. I think of it as a promise made. Does this really deter anyone? Who is offended by what they see on TV and why are they watching Showcase?

I wish I came with an advisory label. It would give less people grounds to be offended and would probably make me seem that much more interesting.
