Entertainment on the road.

The most modern buses in Malta have flat screen televisions in them. On these TVs, Smart TV advertises by showing normal people on the bus watching television programmes like the Guiness World Records, or a football match. That would be some pretty cool entertainment while riding public transportation, but I do have one question.

Just when the fuck are programmes ever actually shown? In my 45 minute bus ride from Cirkewwa to Msida I saw the same two things on the screen, over and over again. One was of the Smart TV advert, and the other was of Peppi Azzopardi killing a couple of cockroaches and mice for some pest control company. There's only so many times I want to see Peppi take off his gas mask and nod at me. Zero times.

If I were the driver I'd just remove the flat screen and keep it at home. It'll do everyone good, that shit was torture. Smart TV isn't so smart.

Well what's so smart about Smart Cards? Come to think of it what's so smart about anything with 'Smart' in it's title?
Still, you could have just 'looked away' lol
