Because independent film so often is just not amateurish enough

Al Gore is
launching a new television channel:
Former US Vice-President Al Gore is to spearhead a new TV channel offering bite-sized entertainment and current affairs aimed at young people.
The cable channel Current will launch in August with 15-second to five-minute "pods" on subjects from fashion to finance plus Google's search headlines.
It will also encourage its 18-34 audience to make their own TV packages.
MoveOn had a 30 second ad contest (or two) during the last election. Most of the entries were staggeringly bad. I fear the same amateurishness will infest GoreTV. We hacks and clowns have blogs now, let's just be happy with that for now.
