Anyone read Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury?  Guy Montag's wife (what was her name? Mildrid or Millie or something?) used to be addicted to soap opera's that was viewed on entire walls.  They had one room in the house that was basically 4 big TV's.  And she would interact w/ the soap's.   Anyway, this sounds a lot like where this will be going...

Man, I hated that woman.  Was kinda glad she got wiped out.

heh, yeah. it's a great book, btw. heard a lot of good about it before I read it, and I must say it's definitely is about as good as 1984 and brave new world.

hehe, well sure a shark would be even better/worse (depends how you look at it) :D
But it would definetly be worse if the shark began yelling about hairsprays.
