Daytime Soaps have been around since I was a kid. And I get that new technology gets added to everything.

BUT, It is a bit fucking cartoonish in a SOAP OPERA WHEN, instead of doing a screen shot of a text message on the device, you put a bubble graphic up as if it were the Coyote holding up a sign saying "Yikes". 

That is as annoying to me as the "first down" graphic in the NFL...... NO IT IS NOT ON THE FIELD. 

The only time you put bubbles up in a show or movie is when IT IS A COMEDY!

IT LOOKS FUCKING STUPID! If you have a dramatic "text" convey the screen on the device, as it would be looking at it yourself. DON'T PUT UP A IMAGINARY BUBBLE, IT LOOKS FUCKING STUPID!

I appreciate the down marker projected onto the field in football games. It makes following the game easier. When I watch older games, it's amazing the difference between the onscreen information available then and now. Some games didn't even show the score unless a team had just scored. Following things in old games can be difficult, what with the lack of mic'd up refs, little onscreen information, and play-by-play commentary instead of the color commentary we have today. More information is better, and I'm all for it.

Methinks perhaps anger management classes are in someone's future. Maybe there's no anger here, but lots of words in all caps sure seem to me that you're just wanting to be angry about something.

Have you tried a Snickers bar?

I like you Tony, there is no lying in you. But when I tell you to kill the diplomat even though the car is full of kids, DO IT!  <------ Scare Face spoof. 

I fucking hate that graphic shit. I was watching the NFL long before that crap. If I wanted to play a fucking X box I'd play an X Box!

HA HA HA HA HA

If they used Comic Sans for the font, I might be with you... otherwise I don't know.

But seriously, I like the first down marks, and they do amazingly well with them for variations on the field, and of course people getting in front of them.  Also, trying to show an actual cell screen on the video doesn't actually work out that well.   In many ads, you will see a disclaimer, that screen images are simulated (because of this).  Showing a little bubble over top of the people is actually a good way to show not just the messages, but who is talking.

Edit to add.... Your a grown ass man - I think you are taking the soaps too seriously :LOL

I can't believe Roger fell down that elevator shaft and faked his death though

Yeah, but then he lost his memory and his twin brother he never knew he had took over his former life.

I have only one thing to say Brian.


Bhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Ha.

Okay I'll go lie down now only not really.

But Estelle - clever girl - figured it out because the evil twin had a scar on his left buttock that Roger lacked. Terrified, she ran to tell the lesbian florist that she (Estelle) rescued from the Serbian prison camp oh those many years ago. Lucinda (the florist) took a lot of convincing.  Leaving the flower shop in the care of her assistant Henry (Roger's transgendered  adopted niece), she and Estelle went back to confront the twin who, unbeknownst to either of them had just robbed Estelle's home of all her valuables and was, at that very moment, on a flight to Ecuador to fulfill his life-long dream of opening a combination automobile repair shop/walnut emporium.

Boru

Estelle's tears ran down her cheek. Eyes staring randomly. A million mixed emotions running through her mind as she puts the letter down notifying her of the tragic accidental explosion of the plane flight EA722
