The Perdox Rant

I’m getting a little pissed off with the movie channels on Foxtel. For example, as I write this, I am watching Eraser screening on the Extra channel.

The EXTRA logo appears on the bottom left hand corner. But … it’s not really in the corner. It is where it sticks out like dogs’ balls. What the fuck is the matter with the channels? The logos are so fucking annoying. Do I really need to be reminded about the channel I am watching throughout the entire movie?

Take a look at the logo that appears on the channel 13th Street. Now this one is worth two dogs’ balls. It takes up about 1/2oth of the screen for fuck’s sake.

To the stupid idiots who put these logos on, take your heads out of your arses and remove the logos or shrink their size.

Want something worse? Try watching a live Premier League football game. In the top left hand corner, we have a banner that shows the abbreviated names of the teams playing and a clock showing the time elapsed since the beginning of play. In the top right corner, we have the logo for the sport channel, for example, FOXSports1.

Both these banners take up about 1/10th of the TV screen’s vertical space. How annoying is that?

To the idiots who put these banners on the screen, take your heads out of your arses and reduce the size of the banners or, better still, get rid of them! Just leave the clock on, that’s all we need. We know the names of the teams that are playing.
