I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

Evidently, even freckles are too much diversity now.

There was an episode of Max Headroom where television commercials (for "Zik-Zak") were broadcast so fast that viewers' heads were exploding while they sat in their recliners. It was a mystery to solve, but now I don't remember the outcome. I'll have to find it and watch it again.
