31. I couldn't agree with you more.
That scrolling shit on the bottom of the screen drives me absolutely bonkers. Then there's things twisting, flashing, spinning, rotating, gyrating. They tell you everything on the screen but the last birth at the zoo.

A third of the screen is taken up by their stupid graphics and library of informational shit. Pretty soon you'll need binoculars to find a picture. It'll be the size of a postage stamp.

You almost have to watch C-Span to find a station anymore that doesn't give you motion sickness headache.

I wish they would go back to the days when television had a picture on it and that's all. And they didn't have zoom lenses that these amateur cameramen think is for getting pictures of peoples tonsils. God, that's another thing that drives me crazy.
