Technogeek posted:I can see it being a combination of CDN screwiness combined with the relatively short time between "filming concludes" and "episode airs". If nothing else, there's a lot less time between the two than there is with Game of Thrones. When are Real Time episodes usually uploaded, for comparison purposes?

Shakugan posted:Ah, HBO doesn't have ads? Then it's even more ridiculous. Yeah, premium cable is the one place where online and DVR viewings matter as much as live watches. HBO's goal is to maintain their subscriber base, and the cable companies get their cut either way, so no one cares.

The cutaway segments are there in place of the commercial breaks a broadcast/basic cable show would have. He has to say something or the cutaway would be sort of awkward.

Timett posted:So you just have the cutaway video not say "and now..." and you get the best of both worlds, right? I suppose. I suspect they produce the video segments so that they could be used as standalone clips on youtube or something if need be.

I don't see why it has to be one or the other. Yes, Oliver, Stewart, and Colbert are there to make people laugh. But let's not pretend for a second that Oliver and his staff didn't devote the majority of last night's episode to America's prison system because they want to start a bigger conversation about it. And they're absolutely right to, because what's going on is horrifying. At every level.

That was both an excellent and horrifying segment and it didn't even cover one of the scariest nuke-related US fuckup allegations. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2515598/Launch-code-US-nuclear-weapons-easy-00000000.html Edit: (To be fair I think there has been some dispute about the truth of this one.) hcreight fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jul 28, 2014 |

The claim was originally made in an article written by a Ph.D and former Air Force officer a decade ago but made rounds as a news story last December. Though from the look of it mostly on less than reputable sites (Daily Mail, Huff Post, Gizmodo).

One of the pictures in the intro is an Israeli flag with the fake Latin suggesting it's a complicated issue. I'm hoping it means they're giving themselves time to get it right before they do a full segment.

rapeface posted:I was also under the impression that even though U.S. politicians don't discuss it, the general consensus of most educated people (especially the left leaning) is that Israel is the aggressor. Is this not the case? As the chart above kind of suggests, the breakdown correlates more to age than to education level. Young people are much more likely to believe that the literal children that make up a good portion of Gaza's population shouldn't have to suffer for the past misdeeds of the PLO and Hamas. Though it's important to point out that this is uniquely an American problem. Even in other countries where the politicians are afraid to touch Israel, like the UK and Germany, the majority of people are more sympathetic to Palestine. I hope they roll the dice and tackle this subject, but I'll understand why if they don't. Suggesting Israel is even partially to blame will convince a lot of otherwise reasonable people that John is an anti-semite. hcreight fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Jul 30, 2014 |

hemophilia posted:What the gently caress is going on with that Cuba ban? It's seemed unnecessary and unjustifiable for what seems like the majority of the time in which I've been alive. It seems to still be in place for no other reason than Cuba is still a politically radioactive subject for some people. In theory Obama could tackle it next year once he's officially reached lame duck status but I'm not holding my breath.

GaussianCopula posted:For me it looks like the Miss America foundation has people trying to get the scholarships from schools/boosters whoever, probably by telling them "hey having Miss XYZ study at your school might not look to bad, how about you let us provide them with a scholarship". I think there is so much worse stuff on TV (how about going after HBO for having nudity in all their shows for the sake of nudity, see sexposition on GoT) and in the Pageant world (6y olds doing pageants) that focusing on Miss America seems just lazy. That was kind of the point though. Miss America is supposed to be the "good, socially responsible" pageant. If even Miss America is kind of a sham, aren't we at the point of wondering why the pageant industry should exist at all?

The Breaking Bad thread went apeshit over the Jonathan Banks sex ed tape being discovered a few years ago. The video at the end of tonight's ep was a nice coda.
