What type of person watches teledot programmes?
Gordon Taylor
I was wondering if the teledot programmes are aimed at a certain
group of people, demographically speaking.
I have not watched one teledot programme through to the end yet.
Started on Wild NZ and soon knew that Steve Irwin did it a hell of
alot better.
So I am wondering if the teldots have a target audience who do
certain things, eg take part and spend lots of $ at BP, KFC, and ...
Alert my memory has failed temporarly, can not think of the third
one. ;-)

What are you doing here on this newsgroup? Go back and WATCH TELEVISION!
There many other more interesting things to talk about rather than TV on
newsgroups.

1. Stick the teledot on the TV.
2. Mute the sound.
3. Go do something fun.

Totally believable I'm afraid, Tom.
The credibility and value of News, whether broadcast on radio or
television, is set initially by the standard of editorship and the
credibility and authority of those who deliver it to us.
TV3 is no better than TVNZ with its inane, childish joshing between
the presenters and that tiresome silly grin or eyebrow-raise with each
story. TVNZ has writers who specially contrive fourth-form
alliterations and puns so as to keep us 'entertained'. Just
occasionally they manage to get their spellings right in the captions.

Move on, now, to programmes like Fair Go and Target. Just the same
silly, inane, infantile delivery. Both these programmes incorporate
squirm-worthy sub-kindergarten 'dramas'. On Fair Go the two presenters
shout everything at us and a chronically dazed Pete Cronshaw looks and
acts like he's on parole from the funny farm.
Target must have searched long and hard to unearth that very
embodiment of unspeakable repellence, the vulgar, coarse-mouthed,
bawling 'Sue' as 'aggrieved customer'. To top the whole thing off as
Bad Sight Of The Week Target also gives us the absurd, verbally
constipated meat-pie-on-legs, the resident 'expert', to repeatedly
edify the world with his feeble admonition, "Yes, they shouldn't
really have done that". This, Tom, if you can bear to contemplate it,
is TV3's top-rating programme.
But, the ratings indicate that hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders
contentedly watch this patronising low-mentality tripe, night after
night. And why?
They think it's good. Yes, *THEY LIKE IT!*
Tom, you say there is something seriously wrong with the world. Sorry,
but with ratings running in the hundreds of thousands for this
patronisingly crass and inept rubbish there simply has to be something
seriously wrong with a very large portion of the New Zealand
population. *Very* seriously wrong, Tom.

Little sticky things that stick to the TV screen and supposedly get
"activated" while you watch certain TV 3 programs. I've never seen a
teledot up close and personal as I never intend to get one, but I have
noticed that the Teledot programs:
1. Vary wildly in length, which is amusing as the target activation range
is fairly tight according to the info page I saw and
2. Are almost universally shite.

By warning the viewers that the tellydot only works if there is no
interruption to viewing of that particular programme they hope to
suggest that viewers must have watched *all* of the ads during that
uninterrupted period.
TV3 knows how many tellydots will have been issued., so they think
they'll know how many are viewing their shite when the silly sticker
things are handed in to enter the "bribe" competition.
TV3 is desperate. Bad ratings and loss-making. Anything, but
*anything* to try and convince their paymaster-advertisers that their
shite are being watched.

The gullible perhaps?
I still have not figured out how these things are supposed to work. It seems
to me that given the large variability in television size and brightness
that they should either work with any programme at all or they should not
work at all...

By and large I would agree, except in one area. Watch TV3s news for a
few weeks and then try and watch TVNZs garbage again. When a TV
bulletin leads with a lion stuck up a tree and gets to significant
events on item 3 or 4 there is something seriously wrong with the
world
unbelieeeeevable

the things. I just didn't connect the stoopid cartoon
things with the discussion thread. I didn't know that
the stoopid cartoon things had anything to do with sticking
them to your screen - I thought that they were some sort
of scratchy... Wasn't paying attention.
