We weren't told to not accept sweets from strangers because our parents were scared we'd get fat. Ah, but they were good old fashioned white paedos, our paedos. Not like these modern brown and black Muslim ones, being abused by a non white paedo is far worse.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Paedos were a thing in the 80s, but back then they were all on the tele! Hey oh!Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The Catholics were paedos when the paedos that were on the telly were just choirboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2022 here's another one: People who keep/watch their TV's in 'soap opera mode'. Just why? I've recently started seeing who's TV is locked into the mode, we watched Beverly Hills Cop the other night and it was a brutal experience. She's lost the remote for her TV as well so there's nothing I can do about it for now, it may be a dealbreaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 18, 2022 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's really good for sports. Other than that I don't think there's any good reason to put frame interpolation on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its make a Hollywood movie look like it was filmed with a shoestring budget. Horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I find it acceptable on nature documentaries but even then itās too much to watch the whole thing. I have a strong impulse to turn it off if Iām around someoneās house and they have it on. Edited August 18, 2022 by Mr_Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 What is soap opera mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 18, 2022 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2022 The setting that tells your tv to artificially increase the number of frames in what you're watching. It is called different things on different TVs but it makes things look weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I have no idea what any of that means. Thank god Iām unemployable dole scum on benefits and have to make do with a flat screen tv and Sky, and the latest iPhone or something.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's a mode that ruins films by cutting out at the dramatic climax, to be continued the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 18, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's the mode that makes older cartoons from the 90's look like dogshit. Try watching a classic episode of the Simpsons with all the weird, off-putting extra frames, an incredibly unnatural experience. I'm constantly tinkering with my Samsung TV, because there's no "catch-all" set-up that works for everything. A proper modern, first-world ball ache.
