Tonight at 7:30, after my 11 hour day at work, I walk into the train station in a grouchy mood and I hear blasting at me from all directions: the Counting Crows. I look around for someone with a huge boom box, I see no one meeting that description, just a man staring suspicious at an empty plastic bag left on the platform.
Then I hear the announcement: This is T Radio! And now for some news on the lighter side. The bubble above my head says: T Radio? Oh no. What is this "News on the lighter side", you ask? Well, I learned there is a guy attempting to break the record for longest leg hair. He's got it up to several inches, but he wants people to know it's only 1 hair - he's no ape man. I feel my mouth opening and head tilting to the side as I stare at the ceiling in disbelief. Next up: we find out that you have greater chances of becoming a supermodel than winning the lottery (or was it vice versa?). Is this news, even of the lighter shade variety? After that were radio ads. Mercifully, the train arrives and I escape T Radio.
Of course it's annoying, of course it seems non-sensical, but when I thought about it a bit more (on the nice quiet train), I realized it's ad revenue for the T (at least I hope it is). Perhaps they can use that money to get their act together.
