The Media Drop

Let’s just take into considering that, in the last year or so, two of the more curious and yet strangely popular (or at least buzzing) programs on television have been Curling during the Winter Olympics - and the Scripps spelling bee. Sure, as John Eggerton at BCBeat sez, “you know it is summer when…” but you gotta admit it’s amusing, for some reason, to tune in and watch kids spelling words on television. My favorite part of the promos was when watching ESPN in days prior, they were like “coming up Thursday on ESPNHD” - because you know, seeing inside the nostrils of some kid would really be necessary as s/he writhed over “onychophagia” sounds like a good idea, right?
