Not suitable for mass transit January 29, 2008 ~ 4:38 pm
Posted by Julie in : Reviews , trackbackLast night while cruising around iTunes, I noticed that I could download the first season of Showtime’s The Tudors. I had seen an episode during a free weekend and that in addition to my love of history meant I was on that like white on rice. I downloaded them all overnight and when I was able to find a seat on the bus this morning, took out my iPod and tuned in.
I had forgotten that 1.) this was a show about Henry VIII, and 2.) this was produced by Showtime. What that means, in case you’re not familiar with either, is that there is sex in the show. And while I certainly don’t have a problem watching tasteful Showtime sex to advance character development, I’m not so enthused by realizing that the Neanderthal squeezed in next to me is quite interested and watching it over my shoulder. At this point, I should have turned to him and said “Excuse me, this is as rude as reading over my shoulder,” but I wasn’t thinking that quickly. Instead, I put a thumb over the screen to hide the naughty bits that Henry was so intent on exposing.
They ought to put a warning on these videos. Instead of “Not Suitable for All Audiences” it should be “Not Suitable to Watch on Mass Transit if You Don’t Want to Turn and See The Guy Next to You Has a Hard-On.” Yuck.
Comments
I don’t understand the comment above. Help?
Also, regarding your post…um, yes, yuck.
Even if you’d mentioned how rude it was to oogle over your shoulder, I don’t think it would have made a difference.
You should have asked him if he needed a tissue to clean himself up before work.
Katey~It was a splog link. I deleted it because I hate them.
Vince~Good point. No pun intended.
That is quite distrubing. Creepy transit guy aside, how is the show?
ewww!
Ann~Oh, I hope this wasn’t the first post of mine that you’ve read. I’d hate for talk about bus hard-ons to be your intro to me.
Grace~The show is awesome. I just wish I could watch it uninterrupted. People don’t seem to understand that I’m watching my iPod and should not be interrupted at lunch.
