The movie concerns planned obsolescence. Planned obsolesce is the policy of deliberately planning or designing a product with a limited useful life, so it will break down.

The movie starts with a fire station in Ohio, they have a light bulb that is still burning bright since 1901.

The movie describes how products are made weaker, cheaper and increasingly fragile so that consumers must consume more in an ever increasing cycle.

The movie not only concerns light bulbs but many other items such as printers, clothes, stockings and consumer items.

The movie showed a man who had a broken printer, he was told to buy another one as it was more expensive to fix or not fixable at all. He researched more and found a ‘counter chip’ installed in his printer. This counter ship tells the printer when to stop working. He discovered a free program from Russia, downloaded it and installed it on his computer. His printer started working immediately.

Dear Americans, please take care of yourselves.

Now that I have finished watching this series, I don’t know what to watch . . .

I miss watching Karl Pilkington on telly, he is just brilliant.

How this changed my life . . . lol

Today someone gave me some Chocolate Seaweed from Korea, it was just kind of weird . . .

But still not as weird as the fish flavored ice-cream I had.

Attached is a scan of the wrapper :)

Save the sharks.

This movie is about the Japanese slaughter of dolphins and the activists who struggle to save them by gaining international recognition of this issue. The policies of the Japanese Government towards whaling and the killing of dolphins are also looked at.

This movie is an intelligent educated documentary about the events surrounding this issue from a local, humane and global perspective.

Awesome! Loved so many things about this movie. Loved all the Jewish surnames. After the bit about Pom (the drink) I totally got up and drank some red/purple colored juice. Honestly thought about buying some Merril shoes, love mini coopers and nothing compares to staying at the Hyatt.
