How bored are we?

There is this radio morning show my wife listens to. Eric and Kathy morning show on WTMX 101.9 Chicago. So I have to listen to it in the 8-10 minute ride to/from the train station. They mostly ask questions and people call in to give their ideas/experience/suggestions. It is amusing sometimes but mostly it is very lame. So for the past two they talked about a “social experiment” they were doing. Two strangers and a wedding. They match-make two strangers let them talk over the phone (monitored) for couple weeks and then do the whole wedding thing and in the end they have the option of saying “I don’t” at the altar. Is love blind? – That was the question they were trying to answer. And apparently they don’t even know what the other person looks like. Of course being an Indian I listened to this and went “ok so what is the experiment? We do this all the time in India”. They filled 2 weeks of radio waves with this load of crap and I had to listen 10 minutes of it every weekday! Well, finally it ended yesterday when both the bride and groom showed up and said NO, we don’t want to get married. Thanks for all the free parties, Hawaii vacation, free tux, limo service though. They realized that marriage is too important to be decided in 2 weeks. Really? And you didn’t know that before you got into this becaussssssee? And this is amusing to us? Are we really that bored?

Ever read rediff.com articles? In plain simple words – they suck big time! But I read rediff all the time. It is for the comments. So funny! There is so much built-up anger inside people and they let it lose on strangers on the discussion board. I think rediff has realized this is more amusing that articles that they are trying to put as many sucky articles as they can. Oh and they have this new section called Spotted – where you post pictures you took with some celebrity. Spotted – Sania Mirza in dubai. So in the picture Sania Mirza has just lost a 3 setter, is terribly pissed, upset, exhausted, fatigued and waiting to get the hell out there; standing in the middle of these two desi dudes with such huge smiles. Hilarious!

Can we be more desperate for news?

I just realized that most of the funny comments have been removed from the page. Ah sucks! Well, I am sure there are plenty more there and a lot more to come.
