Lol, feet and degrees Fahreheit, wtf is this, the 17th century?
It's the only sort of TV entertainment where the value of the product drops like a stone relative to the time since broadcast.
Game of Thrones? Awesome, can't wait, will download and watch it when I get some spare time.
Superbowl? I'm putting my life on hold so I can watch the broadcast in real time.

A Third-World country of religious crazies who have nuclear weapons announcing that they're pushing ahead with advanced missile - oops, did I say that? I mean "payload delivery system" development.
"But we were using the chemical weapons against the jungle, not against the people who were IN the jungle. So that means we're still the good guys. U-S-A! U-S-A!"
