HDTV Downfalls

I love HDTV.  In fact, I can't go back to standard definition.  The bar has been raised.  The clarity of watching sports is fantastic.  Even run of the mill sitcoms are more pleasurable to watch.  As HDTV was transitioning into the standard viewing experience across the country, many spoke of how it was affecting aging stars.  Many were undergoing the knife, because the sharpness of the television screen was so unforgiving.  

But I am not against aging gracefully, and this blog has nothing to do with something as serious as surgery.  My observation is much simpler.  Most of my observations on this blog are quite simple.  A couple of years ago I was channel surfing, and I stopped by the free preview of Skinemax, as the soothing music and glimpse of mid-day nudity caught my attention.  This was a short stop, for the story I am about to tell you is still to this day, almost as disturbing as the day it happened.  Within a New York minute, the beautiful actress is centered on the screen, arching backwards, breasts pointed to the high-definition camera.  And there it was.  Just off center screen, on 57 inches of what is usually high-definition glory, was the unexpected--a nipple hair!  About an inch long!   I am temporarily frozen, just retelling the story.  Oh how I wished I had just been watching the Cosby Show!

Now, I am not so naive as to think that this doesn't happen, but in the world I want to live in, this is at least remedied far shy of an inch!  Furthermore, if your profession involves nudity, don't you check yourself?  The production company certainly shares the blame as well.  

I no longer let Skinemax curiosity get the better of me.  I learned my lesson.  Please, learn from my mistakes.  HDTV is a blessing for sports, nature shows and action movies, but it too has it's limitations.  

You have been warned.
