  • Why there is nothing to watch on Netflix

    Why there is nothing to watch on Netflix

    1-5-18-Bearman-Cartoons-Why-is-there-nothing-on-Netflix

    Today’s cartoon is inspired by our friends at Netflix.   Of course when you have vacation time over the holidays you tend to have some quality TV time as well.  Don’t get me wrong, Netflix does have some decent things but have you ever tried to search for a movie to watch or something other than Stranger Things/Punisher (two I enjoy)?  But it seems they don’t have to put on a ton of great shows because as long as you find something to watch suddenly you forget the hours spent trying to find something to watch.

    I have heard tales of people spending 10-15 minutes scrolling to find something to watch.  Just like our cartoon desert wanderer looking for a bit of nourishment, it is hard to come by.   That’s why when something new finally pops up on the service, the internet seems to react like it is the best thing in the world.  Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is a shit sandwich.

    With $8 Billion to spend on programming this year I would hope to find a lot more “Bright” spots (which I actually liked and the critics hated) and fewer “Iron Fists”.

    What are you watching or not on Netflix??

     

  • Editorial Cartoon: United Nations Declares Broadband Basic Human Right

    Editorial Cartoon: United Nations Broadband Basic Human Right

    Today’s editorial cartoon was inspired by our friends at the United Nations who last week declared that Broadband internet access is now included in the list of Basic Human Rights. Yes right up there with food, shelter, clean water and healthcare is the right to spank your monkey watching full speed downloads of porn videos. OK maybe you have more lofty goals like coordinating protests ala the Arab Spring over the web.

    But seriously, Broadband?? My in-laws still use dial up and are just fine.  Agree or disagree?  Any other “basic” rights you would add to the U.N. list?
