Well you and HOL

1

On the air of one of the music channels, the stars began to scam viewers out of money.

Yesterday I had to sit overnight over the text - the number was on fire. In order not to fall prematurely, I turned on the TV, not the latest music channel. Long after midnight, the clips suddenly ended and the “intellectual TV quiz show” began. There are plenty of them on different channels. This is when, live on air, a blonde with big “eyes”, practically falling out of the TV, demands to guess a word from three jumbled letters. I HOL mean.

Of course, for TV viewers the word turns out to be incredibly difficult. Calls are broadcast, but no one can name the correct version (for those who do not know: members of the film crew are calling). The word cannot be guessed. The presenter wrings her hands in despair. Cash rates are rising. And suddenly you start to get excited. Excitedly, you dial the number, hang on the line in the hope that the mysterious computer will push you onto the air and you will make money. Result: a bummer and a cosmic debt on the phone.

This scam also appeared on the music channel. And everything would have been fine (there will always be lovers of free money), but there were stars in the live broadcast studio. Yesterday one of the manufacturers of the twelfth convocation was there. I suddenly felt sorry for those who would fall for this producer’s bait and dial the number just because there is a celebrity on the other side of the screen. And he will get money. PR for the star, losses for the viewer.

After all, stars must have brains. Or something instead of them that would not allow one to lower its viewer in such a way. Because it’s vile to turn him into what they call HOL.
