You recognise this logo, correct? (If not then you genuinely live in a cave, so congrats on having Internet!) Well, if you don't know it, it's the emblem of Comedy Central, home of such television shows as 'Two and a half men', 'The Office U.S.A.' and my personal favourite (probably one of the best series ever made), 'Friends'.
So if you watch this channel, and you are unable to fast forward through intensely annoying, only occasionally entertaining adverts, that forever curse our televisions and make us want to pull our eyes out with the nearest sharp instrument, then you may have seen one of these before...
Okay, so these appear for about half a second during the ad breaks, no-where near enough time to read them in full, or even the first line in fact, hence why these have all been paused on. The colours used are always black, red and white, the three colours of the Comedy Central logo. As you can read above, the paragraphs share nothing in terms of subject material, they seem to be the very interesting, odd brain notes of an anonymous person, and I seriously mean it when I say anonymous I have been searching the Internet for an hour or so and I cannot find ANYTHING about these messages or who wrote them, even on the Comedy Central website itself. There are a few forums and other blogs where they are being discussed by people, like myself, just wanting to know what they are and the point in them. And of course numerous conspiracy theories are also being chucked around, for instance, people are saying that the highlighted words on each individual paragraph are some form of either subliminal or panic messages, which I don't personally really believe, I think it's more likely that someone is probably just having some fun at the expense of bored/observant people like myself, however, if you do string together the highlighted words, they can sometimes make up weird sentences, i.e...
'tough military murder public satisfaction' (top left corner)
'labour seems laughed at' (bottom left corner)
...due to this I can clearly see why certain people are becoming ever more concerned by these odd ramblings. It's also interesting to point out that subliminal messages are supposedly banned in England (supposedly being very over-emphasised here, because personally I think a lot of advertising use forms of subliminal messaging, hence why I, someone who isn't a crazy fan of fizzy-drinks, can end up craving a cola after an over-excited ad where someone ends up drinking from a can with a huge smile on their face), so technically these messages that appear cannot be certified as SUBLIMINAL. So what the hell are they?! I have absolutely no idea. But this is my favourite one to date...
Bus drivers are a strange breed. What's going on in their lives and minds that makes them behave that way? You'd think being entrusted with several tonnes of metal and glass would make them drive with diligence and caution. But no. They plough through streets in their hulking steel beasts with enough speed to rip a hole in the space time continuum, which is ironic as space and time are things to which they seem totally oblivious. As the old saying goes, you wait for a bus for ages then three turn up at once - and run you over. But don't panic live for today. You may be hit by a bus tomorrow.
(No personal offence meant to bus drivers here, any of you that read this and dislike it can disinclude yourself from this slightly harsh stereotype, because your reaction means that you are clearly not one of the emotionally empty driving robots being referred to.)
