Annoyance of the Week (UPDATED)

Posted on by

This is not only annoying, it is also slightly troubling.

I rarely get to watch TV, and when I do, I usually catch the early morning shows for news (and if I am lucky, I get to see Music Station on my free time). Even the local news shows are troublesome, to say it nicely.

So early today, I was waiting for the news at GMA’s morning show. The first news portion was usually preceded by that mobile stage and poor production called Mobile Tambayan. Anyway, today the mobile stage was at a certain school, and featured students playing “Joy to the world” using bamboo flutes.

The next was shocking. And jarring. And ultimately, annoying.

GMA7 played “My Boy Lollipop.”

PS: I am also annoyed by one of GMA’s reporters when this reporter goes to deliver live report. Can’t that reporter just record the report to minimize errors and extraneous words?

UPDATE:

Here is the song “My Boy Lollipop”, for those who are unfamiliar with the song.

  1. My Boy Lollipop? Is that a new song? Hahaha. I don’t even recognize that title.

    But I do get what you’re trying to say about certain reporters being so annoying. Or to be more specific, I’m more annoyed at how TV stations report showbiz news as headline reports, especially during the time that Kris Aquino and James Yap and Ruffa and Yilmaz were having marriage troubles. I mean, not everybody cares about them okay? And they’re not vital national issues. So just keep those news in the showbiz news part of the show.

  2. Hi, Dra. Tess. The song is old, very old. Sixties, if I am not mistaken.

    Well, there remains a lot to be desired re: local news shows. Unfortunately, they just deliver what sells, which is sad.

  3. Can I ask you a rather unrelated question? CM nonsense is spreading here 😛
    Did you upload that song? Did it take long? I tried uploading into imeem but it took forever and it wasn’t even 1/5 way through so I canceled it. Is that common?

  4. Hi, runawaycat, yes I had uploaded that song. It did not take that long. But on some days, it took me more than 8 hours.

    Maybe it depends on connection speed, file size, and server speed.
