WDNBAN? A Home for the Holidays

Today's What's Dish Network Blogging About Now? features "a completely different sort of entertainment show" which was CBS' A Home for the Holidays. As described by DNB (Dish Network Blogger), this special featured a ton of "moving" musical performances by Ricky Martin, Melissa Etheridge, Maroon 5, Nelly, and Katy Perry. So far this just sounds like your average holiday/charity concert, or an awards show featuring musical performances (spolier alert: it is!). There truly seems to be nothing "completely different" about this program at all. Other "performers" included Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Holly Robinson Peete, Mira Sorvino, Maria Jaret Winokur, and Leah Remini. What any of these people did to be referred to as "performers" for this program is beyond me, because I honestly don't care enough to try and watch and/or read anything else about the special. I really don't want anything to spoil this impression that the DNB has set for me. I like it better this way. Apparently inspirational stories of American families and foster care adoption were also featured during the program (aka the whole point of it all). So, it was just another sappy holiday show meant to make everyone who already feels bad about themselves feel even more terrible for feeling so selfish when they really "have it good" compared to these poor folks. You know exactly what I am talking about!

Anyways, aren't you glad you missed the December 22nd airing of this program? If you happened to watch it, I apologize for not warning you about it beforehand. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me.*

*I just re-read this post, and I swear I'm not as cold-hearted as I sound. I just think this DNB is rather entertaining.

What's Dish Network Blogging About Now?

I somehow came upon the great fortune of discovering the Dish Network Blog. This is some seriously outsourced shit. No joke, my friends. It's like reading internet translations. Naturally, this has become my new favorite blog. I hate football, but I read every football game post with vigor that the Dish Network blogger writes. There will be strings of fluency here and there, but for the most part, the blog posts consistently contain sentences, phrases, whole ideas that do not make any sense. In addition, much of the content is poorly worded. I imagine that editing is not in their budget.

On a daily (or as often as I manage to) basis, I will feature some of the more enjoyable blog posts from Dish Network's Blog.

Tonight we're going to start with this entry from December 16th, which attempts to persuade its readers that the San Francisco 49ers vs. San Diego Chargers football game is going to be super exciting. However, I often get the feeling that the writer is a robot or computer of some sort. You know, one devoid of emotion.

While this article is not particularly painful to read, there are a bunch of mistakes that could have easily been avoided if the posts were edited, or even read over just once. Seriously, elementary mistakes, my dear Watson.

• As both the teams are fairly banged up to look their horns on tonight’s game, it is expected to be full of excitement.
  I'm sorry what was that you were trying to say? "look their horns?" I mean, I'm not dense, I do actually get the message the writer is trying to convey, but that shouldn't be my job, that should be the DNB writer's. I'm also not even convinced on the excitement factor of which the writer speaks. There wasn't even an explanation point to show emotion!
• If we analyze the strengths of both the sides, if seems that Chargers are a bit favorite in San Francisco 49ers vs San Diego Chargers game, but you never what’s in store at the end.
  Hmmm. I don't even think I need to comment on this one. Super sloppy work, Rajib.
• However, if you miss it by any chance, as a DISH Network subscriber, you have the opportunity to use your DISH DVR to record the game, which you can watch later at your convenient time.
  Hey guys what time is it? It's your convenient time! Guess that means I should watch that 49ers/Chargers game now.
