    Canada's prime minister started out with shaggy hair. It occasionally gets mentioned that it's growing back again. It seems to have shocked people when he first took the reins, and he got a hair cut. But they don't seem anywhere near as shocked and appalled by it this time around.

    My SO got a kick out of Joy Behar complaining on The View that she is wholly incapable of doing her own hair and makeup properly, so she looks a little less glamorous these days.

    Late night TV shows are looking a lot more like YouTube video series. They lost their live audiences, but now look a whole lot more like their competitors.

    I think a lot of this is going to be the new norm.

    Can you provide sources? I'm going off of reports like the View News report on Iran (HBO episode). They just showed normal teenagers who had to make skateboards out of iron because they couldn't buy any real skateboards.

    Seeing as how there was Iran deal on the table that Obama pushed for, then that means reducing/removing sanctions is not as crazy as you are proposing.

    I wonder, how much in dollar value are the ads in one episode of scrubs. It seems like the TV networks could use something like this technology and just charge a per-episode rate of (X * 1.5).

    Based on some back of the envelope using the superbowl ($3 million / (30 second spot * 100 million viewers) = $0.03 per viewer commercial * 36 commercials per hour = $1.08. That's probably an upper bound since super bowl ads have a good chance of making the news outlets, talk shows, etc.

    So would you pay $1.50 an episode to watch commercial free your favorite show whenever you want? For Firefly yeah, but I'm not so sure about The View.

    Then again my implicit wage rate is $0.03 * 120 = $3.60 an hour so I'm willing to earn $3.60 an hour watching television ads but only if I get Joss Whedon unpaid breaks.
