I am an absentee father

Ok, not really, but still I have been slacking. I have had a few thoughts (and I will get to those later today I hope), but I just wanted to address something that was bothering me while I was watching TV this weekend. Can announcers and TV shows please stop saying "This broadcast is also available in STUNNING hi-def."

Don't we all basically assume it's being offered in hi-def, and that the only reason we are not watching in hi-def is that our provider* doesn't offer the channel or we simply don't have hi-def? Maybe I am crazy, but hi-def has been around long enough now, that I think we can stop pretending that it's ground breaking technology. I promise, that anyone who has hi-def checks their hi-def channels before they check all others.


*Though I hate hi-def channels that don't show stuff in hi-def. I am looking at you ABC family channel.
