3 Things to do When the TV News Gets Too Serious
The Nurse sometimes gets fed up with everything on the TV news being so intense. So she’s dreamed up three things to do to lighten up even the most serious piece of TV news reporting:
-
If a pompous politician is getting on your nerves, imagine him or her naked except for socks and sandals. A neat trick which makes it completely impossible to take them seriously from then onwards.
-
When someone being inteviewed is driving you mad with fury, exasperation or disgust, squint at them through one eye until you’ve got them in centre view. Then squash their head between your index finger and thumb until, in your imagination, it pops. Mmmmm, that’s much better…
-
Put a fish tank next to your TV. The Nurse has an aquarium full of guppies and neons, a gift from a grateful Prison Guard. Whenever the telly gets too depressing or annoying she swivels her eyes to the right and drifts off into fish-world instead. Nice.

I’d like to add:
4. I enjoy watching “discussion forums” on TV, but there’s always at least one person that pisses mi off. That’s why I have a small roll of scotch tape next to my telly, so I can blast the bastard from my view. It get’s frustrating sometimes when they change the camera’s angle, but hey, you can’t get everything!
