Enough with the Final Countdowns

January 30, 2008 06:15 PM

Say you're a web designer or a TV producer and you'd like to let me, your viewer, know when the Next Big Event is happening. Lately, it seems that your preferred way of getting that information across to me is through a big-ass countdown timer someone on the screen. Do you really have that much faith in the math skills of Americans to determine exactly what time the Super Bowl kickoff is by adding some days, hours, and minutes to the current time. As for CNN's lunchtime broadcast, does anyone really need a timer to be beginning of tonight's Republican debate? Just tell is that it'll be on at 8:00 or whenever it is! I don't watch cable news or look at football websites because I want some mental stimulation.
