Yesterday's big city news is that there are plans in the works to make it possible for us to watch TV while on the subway...I guess you could say the "subway culture", a bit of an oxymoron I know, is one of my obsessions...I just don't know how I feel about TV on the train though...it's bad enough no one ever wants to actually get into the center of the car...it's like people don't want to accept or fully feel like they are riding the train..so they stand on top of the door so they can feel like they're just sort of on the train...like hitching a short ride...now we're gonna have people cramming up against TV monitors to catch Law and Order?? Second the whole thing seems like we're just inching one step closer to "1984"....just because you're watching ER doesn't mean Big Brother isn't watching you watch ER. I was disturbed by the taxi TV concept which seems to be flopping now since all the monitors are always busted...now the train...I dunno...I enjoy the subway for the very few perks it offers: reading time, B and C list celebrity sightings and the daily pedestrian fashion show it provides...but who is gonna have time to read Rolling Stone and notice Le Tigre at the end of the car when The Apprentice is on??
