ADD society


One of the worst examples of our ADD society landed on me yesterday, as I was in the car with my brother. We're in Italy, jamming along to a Snap – I've got the power on the radio, when suddenly the song fades into ads and into a new song. Confused, we get into the next song and it suddenly changes again after a couple of minutes. Now people should know that I pretty much hate the radio and the music on it, so it was a miracle that they were playing tunes I was enjoying. But we realised that they were only playing half songs. Do you realise that some consider people's attention spans to be so bad that they can't even listen to one listenable song on the radio anymore??? That is so messed up that it almost trumps the fact that songs about oral sex make it on the radio for preteens to sing along to!

Screw that, Stu and I are beatboxing and rapping Snap in the car for the kids from now on. They love it.
