The Joy of Watching Geo Die!!!!

I feel compelled to write this post because the government has banned Geo Super from airing its transmission from Pakistan. They can air it from any other country but not Pakistan, it’s like PEMRA has told Geo Super “Chal bay Nikal”. Unfortunately this is not the said part of the story; I don’t give a rat’s ass about Geo or Geo Super so I am not troubled by it. But it does trouble me when every time I flick through numerous Torture (News) Channels only to stop at Geo News and all I see is the chain of nonstop, round the clock whining, complaining, and pathetic begging for sympathy unleashed by their news casters. Damn Geo group, suck it up and stop your whining already. I hear enough whining as it is, in my office by the peon, on the road by the fellow motorists, in the public transport by the conductor and fellow travelers, in the market by the butchers and the vegetable vendors and in my home courtesy of my wife.

Just do what you are supposed to do which is to create a state of paranoia in the minds of the watching fools, depress the crap out of the viewers and continue to portray Pakistan as the worst place to be on God’s Green Earth. Your continuous whining distracts me from the more important issues at hand such as stacking up on house hold supplies because a civil war can erupt anytime and people will start killing each other because there will be no food, water, electricity, petrol, gas, medicines, etc.

As for Geo Super, I think I am partially responsible for this calamity otherwise known as PEMRA banning Geo Super. You see it was me who cursed Geo Super every time it interrupted live transmission of the Cricket World Cup only to persuade me to buy a silly product via telecasting a lame advertisement. Instead of watching the replay of how the wicket fell, I was stuck watching an advertisement. Every time a boundary or six was hit by a Pakistani player, I was stuck watching your ugly ass logo dance seductively with a ticker running on the bottom half of the screen. At one time you even had the audacity to blatantly make me miss half an over because you were busy televising commercials. I did not see you whining while you were busy milking the world cup and making money by the second. And all the while I was suffering because no other T.V channel had the “rights” to telecast the proceedings of the world cup and I was tormented watching you wrong me.

The pain of watching the defeat of Pakistan at Mohali quadrupled simply because of watching it on Geo Super, it was the ultimate insult being added to injury. We got to see Pakistan loose in between watching commercials. Good-freaking-bye Geo Super, it was not a pleasure knowing you. You will not be missed by any and will be continuously cursed by many.
