As if fighting to get myself up in the morning, and remembering to put the coffee back in the pantry and not in the fridge isn't hard enough to begin with, I turn on the television to find these two talking to "The GPS Girl". Yes. "The GPS Girl".
Who's the GPS girl I hear you ask? Well, she's apparently the owner of the voice giving you the directions you hear on your GPS unit.
Yeah! Amazing. Apparently, because she's Australian this merits 10 mins of media time.
Really, this is embarrasing. And the rest of the show goes pretty much downhill from there, where they take time out from the morning's news to discuss how they have wonderful lives and relationships and how they could only wish that the rest of Australia could be as blessed as them.
I know it seems like there's no choice but to put up with useless berks and crack addicted cartoons in the morning, but I'm here to tell you there is another way. There is another option. People of Australia, there is hope in morning television yet!
ABC Breakfast. 6-9am on ABC2. If you have a digital set top box, if you have built in digital on your television, than there is hope for you yet.
Switch to actually being INFORMED with USEFUL INFORMATION in the morning. Today, they covered the plight of the assylum seekers who were injured in the boat blast on Australian shores last week, they spoke to a professor (who's name escapes me at this moment) who wrote a counter active theory towards climate change and, as if things couldn't get any better, they provided news, sport and weather without yelling, and without any exaggerated sensationalism.
Oh god bless the ABC.
If you don't recieve digital channels...I shall pray for you.
