I've been watching the Hurricane Dennis coverage so I can see my former hometown of Pensacola, FL get chewed up and shat out by this God-like storm.

Anyway I've realized that when the "Local on the 8's" and weather updates come on, I just freakin love the music. Sometimes it's upbeat and happy, sometimes it's slow and sad. Such diversity. Anyone else think they need a soundtrack?

It's what TV does, mixing music with as dramatic pictures as possible to awaken emotions. Often a very poor attempt, but from time to time it seems to work.

You sure they're not broadcasting subliminal messages to you in between those awesome sax solos?

I love the Cheerios Channel, too. Everything from the music to the reporters to the delicious honey nut flavor.

Why do I want Cereal all of a sudden? :D

But isn't there a law against that type of influencing people?

Yes, my grandfather told me about when he was a kid and drive in movie theaters were the shizm shazm. Anywho he said for awhile right before the intermission a picture of popcorn and soda would flash on the screen so people would start thinking about buying concessions. But im pretty sure there is a law aginst such things now.

You know, I used to think the same thing a long time ago about the Weather Channel. :lol:
