Love is in the Ear...

So, how will you be spending your Valentine's Day this year, Mr Moshi Moshi?

Having my ear operated on. Maybe I'll be lucky and the doctor will graft over my eardrum in the shape of a little heart.

what we want to know really is who will YOU be spending your V day with...

Name: Mr Moshi Moshi said...

Well, I've booked a two person room (with an unbelievable 100,000 yen deposit) so knowing my luck I'll be spending my V day with some farty old man.

So, Perke, you've heard about how I've got Kosuke addicted to 24...
Wow, free episodes online! Will be much appreciated with Series 6.

mr moshi moshi, the show is quite intense and innovative, but is "Fox scaring you into watching '24'?"

while we're at it, isn't it the old fart who should be paying for spending the Vday with you?

Name: Mr Moshi Moshi said...

Yeah, I'm sure I'll be really lucky and Mr Waka will be straight out of a penis enlargement operation and sharing the same room as me.

Wow, those clips from 24 are quite shocking. I think it's true that 24 has been upping the ante with what takes place in its episodes. I watched Season 3 last year (which I just lent to Kosuke) and then Series 5 a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't see Series 4, but I noticed a distinct jump up in the action. In Series 3, most of the threats are thwarted, but in Series 5 a series of attacks succeed, and some were really quite shocking. I feel like it's starting to become the playing out of a fantasy about the threat that we are told we are under, but somehow doesn't seem to happen (assuming that they really exist and that if they do, the security services are thwarting them).

And the video makes a good point about how 24 gives the impression that last minute torture of suspects to save the innocents is an effective and legitimate method.

Thanks for sharing that.
