Play2win TV fascinates me. If you don't know what it is, it's on late nights at 12:00 on the Superstation. Basically the premise of the show is that painfully easy puzzles are displayed on the screen, whether it be a word scramble ("shuzzle") or a word find ("the fair square") and two pieces of friendly eye candy beg people to call in and "help take $300 off their hands" as though nobody in the world is smart enough to figure out that "gnard yacnon" unscrambles to "grand canyon". They ramble on begging and giving hints (sample clue: I went here once and it was cold) for a 10 minute span until you truly believe that you are the only one out there who has the opportunity/ability to solve the puzzle. Then they hypnotize you into dialing 900 numbers, sending text messages at $1.50 apiece, and registering online until your computer is so filled with adware that nothing functions properly. Then right before they are about to throw out the question, somebody finally gets through and speaks live on the air to the hosts. This person is not nearly excited enough by the fact that they just won free money and are generally too incompetent to answer the host's questions correctly.

I watched this show for almost a complete hour.

I need to culture myself. Or at least find better things to do with my time.
