The one with that channel

el_nicIt's late, and I'm tired. But before I forget...
Remember that episode of Friends when Joey and Chandler were getting free porn and were afraid to change the channel, let alone leave the room??
Somehow, Germans finally caught on that people would enjoy a little HDTV and a menu that displays the TVGuide. We hopped on board right away, and I managed to get it all set up yesterday (not an easy task since they use different cables than we do - the whole ordeal required THREE trips to the cable office and one to Media Markt. UGH!)
One of channels we get is Personal Spice (or something like that - I can't remember the actual name, but I'm not about to Google it!) and according to the brochure, it is hard core porn. We are not interested. And since a parental code is required, nothing shows up when surfing past that channel.
Right away we were thrilled with our new set up. Deadliest Catch? Who doesn't love frozen fishermen!? MythBusters!? I thought of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
berreh right away! More automotive auctions than Big D can shake an axel at? Sold!
So last night, I set the alarm for 7:30 this morning so I could get up, brew a cuppa joe in our new Keurig, and jump in the shower in time for a Snow Patrol concert airing on MTVLive at 8am. (Day #1 and already the investment is worth the money, though I would happily plonk down a lot of dough for a damn DVR!)
And this is the part of the story wherein Big D brought the remote to me... while I was in the shower. And he said, oh, he almost screamed, "HOW DO YOU WORK IT!?"
It took me a second, but I'm a smart girl and I guessed.... "Uh, honey? Are you stuck on the porn channel?"
And then he admitted, "I typed in 1,2,3,4 and it worked. And all of the sudden....Holy.... And now....And now the channel won't change. It's stuck. On porn. And it's, uh......uh...and... HOW DO YOU WORK IT!?"
I don't know howChandler Big D got himself into the predicment, but I had to unplug the whole setup and restart it all. Trust me: It was too much to see before breakfast.
And while I was rocking to Snow Patrol while he walked out the door? He said, "No fair. This is your porn."

Date: 2012-03-22 11:15 pm (UTC)We get an occasional soft porn channel that's so lame we pause to mock it for a couple of minutes before we move on. I think we now call it "the hip-humping channel."
