TTIM: tv shows that put their viewers tweets on screen. I couldn't give a flying fuck about HappyArtist24's opinion on what some cunt on MKR or the Block is wearing.

Well said.  I also mumble to myself, if i wanted to know what these $%^& thought I'd be on twitter with 'em.

I find it suss that the tweets appear pretty much in sync with whats happening on the screen for those shitty reality shows. Surely by the time the tweet gets typed, then seen, then placed on the screen it should be a bit behind whats happening.

It's very simple to set up an automatic feed, though surely someone checks the tweets before they go in TV. Still it could be very quick if they have someone checking them and they pop up straight away to that person and they just have to accept/reject them. Honestly the whole thing could be as little as 10 seconds from a viewer seeing something happen on the show to a tweet appearing on the TV show.

Even 10 seconds and the show would already be onto the next scene.

 

Shows like Domestic Blitz (I just happened to be walking past the TV when it was on) have tweets like 'OMG AMAZING ROOM' within 1 or 2 seconds of the room being shown for the first time. 

 

Happy to accept that things may happen that quickly, but much like Hardcore Pawn its all very futuramafry_normal.jpg to me

Hmmm, it would be pretty easy to tell if they're legit, since you'd be able to find them on twitter fairly easily.

TBH even 5 seconds may be possible. Not sure about 1-2 seconds, maybe if it was completely automated and they had some sort of automated filter that doesnt show tweets with profanity etc., but I doubt they'd take that risk.

TTIM: Twitter

 

I have said it before, but I will say it again but I will never get the point of Twatter... I just dont get why average PPL would think that the greater world wants to hear really short statements about what they think about the world. 

 

I get it why PPL are part of the media, celebs, politicians or companies would use such a site but the whole need for an average joe to comment on everything in these short statements on a site with nothing else but a list of short statements for me just seems a bit Narcissistic.

 

I mean if I wanted to make a statement about something then I would make it on Facebook or even on a place like here where I know I have at least some sort of connection to my audience... even if its just the sharing of a fondness for the same Soccer Team.

TTIM: Playing our opening game of the season on the 12th with a 7:30 kick off. Miss the Wellington game but more importantly being orthodox Easter Sunday have massive issues of over eating and obviously drinking.

Try missing the last game if we don't make finals for Orthodox Easter when you are a Catholic...So you haven't converted yet?

Was seriously thinking about it. The half priced easter eggs was the breaker.

Having a forfeit round 1. Can now enjoy Easter festivities and then sneak away for the Wellington game. (Just realized this is the irk me thread. ITs now the don't irk me)

Twitter can be really awesome just for sport updates (especially American sports) Saves you from having to install the nba app,nhl app, MLB app ext when twitter can give you play by play updates on those sports. Can just check my twitter feed on my phone quickly then get back to work. Also you can follow journalists for specific teams like the Cleveland cavaliers for instance who tweet shit about what the flow of the games like, whos just been injured and so on.

 

Limited letters per post is awesome too, means you don't have people writing paragraphs about themselves bitching about their lives. Twitter best social media app :up:

TTIM: AFL commentators making the hard-hitting call that "the game will be won in the midfield", I mean no shit. 

 

Also, Wayne Carey

How can duck irk you?! Cunts a legend. I regularly seem him down the beach at Port Melbourne on my morning runs. Dunno who he's speaking to at 6am but he's always on the phone.

 

As far as footy commentary is concerned, I'd much rather listen to him than all the other fuckwits who are all trying their hardest to be the funny man instead of making intellectual, informative comments on the game.

 

TTIM: Bruce McAvaney. Cunt used to be known for his ability to rattle off any and all sporting knowledge. Now wastes his time trying to be 'wittier' than Dennis. Just be the straight man Bruce.

Or we'll probably just end up beng shit kents, lose our last two games, and bris will pick up 2 wins. Wouldn't be surprised at all if that happens. We all know who we support.

TTIM: Retailers marketing trashy consumer goods plastered with "WW1 Centenary" and "Gallipoli Centenary" and similar phrases.

 

Total disrespect for those who served and especially for those to made the ultimate sacrifice.

 

TBH I'm disgusted by it.

Easily the most disgusting one I've seen.
