"Paul Kedrosky: "I'm particularly fond of SmashingTelly given how it, in effect, Tivo-ifies the web"... Guy Dickinson: "David Galbraith has turned Smashing Telly into well, the new TV."... Fimoculous: "Best Blogs of 2007"... The Guardian: Video sharing on the net has uncovered a hoard of TV gems...and a number of sites have been established to lead us to them. Take smashingtelly.com."

about

"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. ~~Not 30 second clips~~ (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.

Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

One of the only redeeming features of Depression 2.0 is that a great rain has come which will wash away: famous for fucking, celebrity prostitutes like Paris Hilton; soccer team owning Russian celebrity gangsters; brand-name, soulless, celebrity chef restaurants and saccharine corporate/celebrity rock n roll mashups such as this piece of sickeningly un self-aware, acoustic shit.

Brilliant!!! So much better than the soulless piety and pseudo-authenticity of Bono et al.

PS. let us never forget Bono’s involvement with ‘Red’ that ugly apology for consumerist greed brought to you in conjunction with that well known paragon of virtue, altruism and social justice… American Express.

That was painful. At least the first 1 1/2 minutes before I hit the switch.

When was this made ?

How much shareholder money was used for this seminar ?

Are the “performers” still employed ?
