GALAHAD: He says they've already got one!

From The Consumerist:
The transition to digital has been woefully underfunded from the start. We've spent less than $10 million on public education, while England, five times smaller than Alaska, spent close to $400 million on their transition. Unless Congress acts fast, expect your grandparents to call on February 17 asking what happened to all their stories.

If this means poor Britishers had to suffer through 40times more boring informative ads that direct you to call a hotline or check out a webpage I'm amazed they wern't all driven mad.
I hardly ever turn on an actual TV these days but I've seen enough to be well and truly sick of the things.

I bet the UK is handing out lots of three-fold phamplets and sending out mailers with a FAQ and has magnets at the checkout lines and doesn't rely on telly ads that Contain Little Useable Information. I bet, in fact, that they are doing it right and have not run out of converter box coupon funding.

Seriously  - how often do you check out webpages you hear about on TV? It's too much hassle. You check out webpages if they're links that are already On The Internet.  Or at least, I do.
