Has anyone seen a show called the Hoobs?? I think that's what it's called. It was on SBS this morning, around 11.30am-12.00pm.

Anyway, it's a Jim Henson muppet type scenario, and the question of the day was "Why Do Peeps Wear Hats?"

So there's these muppets going around talking to children with different types of hats on, all saying "Peeps wear hats to keep their heads warm"..."why else do peeps wear hats?"...."Peeps like hats to protect them from the sun"....etc etc.

I really enjoyed that show, it was clever and quite funny. I don't usually watch much ABC but I got stuck watching the cop show before The Chaser's and couldn't be bothered changing the channel

Best.TV.Show.Ever

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 3:45 pm

Actually, while I was watching said CSI episode, I was sooooo turned off by ALL the fucking commercials that I found it hard to find my place in the show when it actually came back on. They made me so frustrated with their barely veiled, pathetic attempts at manipulation that I couldn't even enjoy the very show I was meant to be watching. It was shit.

Today, I catch a glimpse of Dr Phil. He's talking to a woman who is so disgusted by her youngest daughter Victoria, that she treats her like a real life Cinderella. She has two daughters and the eldest Heather is a total doll, likely to be a beauty queen, a cheerleader at 10 yo and her Mum is her best friend. The Mum (let's call her Cunt) spends time with Heather, washes her hair, paints her nails, buys her clothes at the best shops (Nike, Gucci, Prada), paid $700 for Heather's 10th birthday by taking 10 girls to a hotel room for the night to celebrate.
Victoria is all but ignored because she is slightly overweight for a 7 yo and has a skin rash that covers some of her arms etc. Cunt admits that she treats Victoria like shit because she's fat and ugly. She wants pretty children. No hotel for Victoria for her borthdya, oh no. She didn't even get a cake. Her clothes are bought from KMart and he shoes from Payless. Cunt gave up Victoria's bedroom so her husband could have an office and now Victoria sleeps on the floor next to Heather.

Dr Phil WENT NUTS at her, calling her a superficial so and so and the only defence the Cunt could come up with is "I love Victoria...I bathe her, I feed her, I put up with her..."

This woman was totally besotted with the concept of the perfect image. She said she wanted to be the perfect mother, but she didn't understand that a perfect mother meant loving BOTH children equally, without bias. My jaw dropped, that a woman could so readily alienate the weaker child for her own gratification. And not just that, Cunt was admitting it and defending her actions to a whole audience of people who were as mystified as I was. "If only she'd lose that weight, she's got no control". Dr Phil goes "SHE'S 7 YEARS OLD!!!!!"

Talk about totally manipulated by the media. She made me sick.

I'll validate that comment. Denton IS good. Billy's lost a little sparkle for me, but that's ok. There was a time the man could say no wrong in my book. Then the whole travelling around doco thing kinda ruined it for me.

Rob M · Post by **Rob M** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 8:27 pm

Wow, just finished watching a fascinating doco on SBS about MIT university (class 1999) BlackJack card counters in Las Vegas and the teams they played in, as well as the dynamics that go into card counting, security, team work, deception, fallout, greed, powerplays, lifestyle, etc...

I never realised some corporations put money into these Uni teams as a profit building opportunity.

MIT gained 154% profit on their return. Over a period of a couple years they won $4 Million collectively, and trying to get the money from Las Vegas to Boston strapped to their bodies was pretty funny.

One team leader had $650K strapped to his body and got through on the national flight no probs

:teef:

People talking (some with their faces blurred) kept saying in the doco it was like revenge of the nerds but better

yeah dude i saw that doco like half way through last year, it was the bomb !!

i loved the whole team play they used. and how they had the big black (stereotype) dude with lots of bling and throwing away cash as a diversion, and how they have all the signalling, and when the table is good to place high bets on change ppl to a new better and rake in the cash...

what i also though was funny is how once uve played a couple of times thats it, cos the casinos security system is soo good that u cant even gain entry ne more.

Rob M · Post by **Rob M** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 2:15 am

yeh funny; casinos order MIT yearbooks for potential future players who may be troublesome. The technology is down to a fine art. never realised they used face rcognition software to easily find most rollers, and convey the spotting of people to other nearby casinos via internet.

I wonder what happens to people who don't count cards and are just lucky

You'd get kicked out either way because the house always wins

Wait for the second series. It is sooooooooooo much better than the first as it starts to steer away from the UK version and has some golden moments.

God i hope so.....i cant even sit through a whole episode! I always just assumed the American version would be the same set up, but at least have different storylines and characters. I'll give the second series a chance before i diss it too much then

watched an amazing doco on SBS (

) called Born into Brothels about kids born to sex workers in calcutta. amazing story about a photographer that went to live there for a few years and forund she was cut off from them and viewed with suspicion, so she gave a group of kids cameras and let them run around and capture their world on film, the way they saw it. some truely beautiful pictures and an absolutely heartwrenching story.

i think it's on dvd so i'd recommend you see it.

Yeah, Lynt posted something in the movie thread.

It was pretty disturbing. Especially that guy that couldn't find a vein cos he had whacked up so much. Also the lady about to have a baby, still smoking ICE.

Health authorities predict ICE as taking over herion in casualties and addiction.
