RE: [Avid-L2] OT: new nadir of network production values

Haven't you heard? Sloppy crap is the new polish. With an HD webcam in
every kid's lunchbox, (if lunchboxes still exist) the only logical evolution
is to make down the new up, and go with the flow. Perhaps when art comes up
for the third breath, we will consider a return to the "good old days" when
the subject was more important than the machinery. Yes, I am a curmudgeon.

Subject: [Avid-L2] OT: new nadir of network production values

Last night I came across this:

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/22/no-power-no-problem-jimmy-kimme
l-live-relies-on-a-webcam/

And since the show was on the air as I was reading, I tuned in for a couple
of minutes. And yeah, it looked just like what you'd have expected it to
look. Dunno whether this was a PR stunt for Apple, but I sorta doubt it, as
it would have generated more buzz to broadcast 720P from an iPhone 4,
instead of webcam SD from a MacBook.

I have a hard time believing this WASN'T preplanned.
