Does anyone even read this damn thing?

REally, does anyone?

Anyways, so I was watching Current for the first time last night, you know, Al Gore's "non-corporate" TV channel. I can't wait for the fucker to sell out.

It's supposed to be viewer made programming with little "pods" and what not. Pods being little short shows that are somewhat boring. And pretentious. They're chock full of artsy adjectives to try and make whomever made it look like an artist or visionary documentary maker instead of a navel-gazing college student who just got a thesaurus.

Though I did learn something. Their hosts are devoid of personality. Not a big surprise, considering the source.

I also learned it's incredibly easy to get a medical marijuana card in California. Like you just tell them you have back pain and Doctor Feelgood writes you up for one. I'm thinking thriving business opportunity here.

After watching about an hour of pods and some guy speaking terrible resteraunt Spanish followed by another guy sitting cross legged on the floor talking about blogs (it must be to show how uncorporate he is) I do think there's real possibility with this whole channel. They just need to get cameras and editing equipment in the hands of some people with something acutally interesting to show.
