Karmapa Number 17, come on down!

I can't bear the suspense of Karmapan Idol: is Ugyen Trinley Dorje the 17th reincarnation, or is Trinley Thaye Dorje? I hope that Ugyen does turn out to be a Chinese spy, that'll add a much-needed, tearful dramatic twist to the long-running series!

TiVo-me, baby!
Another, highly unlikely explanation could be that people realized there was a reality beyond the glowing screen, that that reality could be even more interesting than cyclic, predictable programming, and that they didn't need constant, mind-numbing entertainment to fill every dreary moment of their inane lives ... but I doubt that very much.
