re: #80 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

So there is this self-published author I like (who is extremely successful) who sent out an email blast last night that his latest book is available. He won’t put COVID into any of his stories because he sees his writing as escapism (he writes action books). He went off on all the TV shows who have incorporated the pandemic into storylines, especially the sitcom The Connors.

What I find offensive is shows like The Masked Whatever CGI’ing large crowds into the non-existent audience without a word that they’ve done that, giving the impression that all is well and normal. Much like what was done for the Super Bowl… Except they had real people interspersed with cutouts, the same effect only ickier.

What do you think?

The Masked Singer mentioned at the beginning of the season that they were using footage of audiences.
