Writer's Block: Late-night TV

Nope. Don't watch TV wether late night or not. Except when with the b/f, even then there are better things to watch than infomercials.

Anyway what is it with the assumption that folks actually watch TV?

Wtf IS an 'infomercial' anyway? I take it that's yet another damnfool americanism?

Infomecials are 5 min or so paid programming/teleshopping slots. Mostly here they are limited to the teleshopping channels.

You might also have seen the looped JML ads in housewares/diy stores they are also infomercials.

This is vaguely interesting to me, as it happens. There's somebody who sends me film shorts about per child's school in lieu of letting that child know me in person. I feel annoyed by this and the word 'infomercial' is an appealing insult.
