I have Direct TV and a message appeared on my screen last week that my batteries in my remote needed to be changed. It refused to operate unless I did as instructed. So if they know this, I am quite sure they know what programs I am watching - NCIS, CSI, FOX, golf and NASCAR. Not too interesting a subject. But was pretty upsetting to have that happen. Would suspect that they keep count on everything. Wonder who all they share the info with.

Your remote sent a signal to your Direct TV box like when my cordless mouse needs to charge my monitor shows a message.

Your satellite dish is not beaming info from your TV into space.

And of those 6.5 million.....227 were not receiving any kind of government aid (welfare,food stamps,etc).

and 330 of them were not employed by the lamestream media

I turn 59 tomorrow, and I can’t believe that other women my age are still so gullible and pliable! We are OLD enough to know better. I hate it that everyone thinks of us as “old.” One day you younger folks will be there. Then YOU’LL have to endure the comments! :) I will NOT look at B.O. or his wife. If they are on TV, I instantly cover my eyes or stick my fingers in my ears. If I happen to be in any establishment when The Spew comes on, I turn my head and look for something else to occupy my attention.

"I hate it that everyone thinks of us as “old.”

No offense intended. You're actually only a few years older than I am. Sorry :)

But, in "TV world", we're old and unwanted. The advertisers want the 18-29 or 18-49 demo, because those are the people who are most influenced by advertising.

ROFL! He remembered to use the NAIR.

Oh, believe it — they don’t know better. I’m in your age range and am surrounded in my neighborhood by many more women in the same range. Every single one of them is an Obamabot (except me)!!! Of course, this is Los Angeles, and many have some sort of job in “the industry” (entertainment), those that are still employed, that is. Most of them just whine about not having enough money.

When I saw this in “The Official Friday Silliness Thread”, (yep, I lifted it) after I stopped laughing, I coudn’t help noticing that only Woopie was wearing trousers in the pic.

Ha! Proof positive there is a God!

Oh, I’m just working off steam about nearing the end of the 50s! LOL Actually, each birthday is an answer to all those prayers for health and longevity, so no one should be upset. Still, it would be nice to “freeze” time for a while. After all, we still feel 25 INSIDE—right?

[OldDeckHand]

"After all, we still feel 25 INSIDE—right?"

In my head, maybe. But, the screams of pain from inside my body do not remind me of my 20s, at all.

Thanks. However, I think the first thing I would do if my remote quit working is to change the batteries. Apparently someone thinks that no one can do problem solving on their own any more. But then I am from the generation that had to get up out of the chair to change the channel.

I don't think 6.5 million is really all that many,

Still, way too many... I can't recall the last time I watched The View, I guess the first season, when it wasn't THE View, but instead tried to encompass many views... My friend is a die hard fan, I'm sure she TiVo'd it (and will try to get me to watch...).

[exDemMom]

It was in the 90s.

[The Wizard]

6.5 millions viewers is not very amny

6.5 millions viewers is not very many

It wasn't a crotch shot, it was an almost crotch shot, and Hasselhoff is a lady who should not be sitting in a dress that she should only stand in. The point is, the whole Basis Instinct thing was in drawing attention that she should not draw. If you can't uncross your legs, your skirt is too short.

Let the other old liberal trulls flaunt their underwear, but I expect a conservative to have more taste.

It also irritates that the smart gals on Fox can look so cheap and expose so much skin and then brag about being an Ivy League lawyer. The men manage to have clothes on. I really don't mind that they're beautiful, a news reader ought to be nice to look at. I'm probably too old, but women didn't used to flaunt cleavage in the morning--that was for formal occasions or cocktail parties.

[FrankR]

I think Hasselhoff has to take so much crap from the others, so much abuse, and they gang up on her...THIS is her one advantage...nice to look at.

I'm 64, and I grew up in the conservative south, where my uncle was a Southern Baptist preacher who railed about women wearing lipstick and smoking; but that was the 50's...times have changed.

I was 9 years old when my brother was born and I sincerely believed that my parents bought him at the hospital.

But I think my grandkids knew where babies came from when they were 4; I'm still trying to get used to condoms and feminine products being advertised on TV.

But, getting back to EH...God made men into very visual creatures, we're going to look no matter how married or otherwise. I still see preachers checking out women when they pass by...it's natural. I still look at women, but I don't really remember why...hummm. ;)

I'll give EH a pass as I know the lib gals hate her as much for being cute, as for being conservative.

[Mamzelle]

Conservative women are naturally hot. This isn't a matter of hotness, but a matter of modesty, decorum and good taste. EH should know better. Our pundits shouldn't try to compete with Victoria's Secret models when in public.

Here's from a former mini-skirt wearer. Standing in a short skirt is fine--you can get away with very short. As soon as you sit down or climb stairs--you've got to sidle up the stairs, and sitting is problematic. Did you know that these women, when sitting in an unholstered chair, are also sittingon a large phone book? It keeps them from sinking into the upholstery and making their thighs spread out and look larger. Their posture on these shows is very odd, trying to show as much leg as possible, which means they have to sit as still as a statue, perched on a NYC phonebook.

It's ironic how the women's movement started out resisting the objectification of women's bodies...

I guess it's all the porn out there.
