Normal Post: Interactive Television



"If you don't like it, then don't watch." Which is fine, apart from when it isn't. Case in point, some folk (a lot of folk) like watching things that they don't like watching, because they like the feeling of not liking watching something. But what if you stop liking not liking watching something and start not liking not liking watching something? Self indulgent scenario convolusion aside, there should probobly be some way of registering the latter feeling. The logical answer is a red button service (taking for granted that anyone who reads this is too cool to write a letter or go to Ofcom or whatever), but I'd prefer a ship's command wheel, the kind that you have to pull left or right to highlight orders like "Full speed ahead" or "aft". Of course, the ship's commands would be replaced with phrases like "Hmm. Alright, keep going." and "I'm not really too sure about this, to be fair." You'd also need to hook it up to the tv somehow. Never mind, it's too much effort.
