Al Gore TV

I can assure you I won’t be watching. It sounds like a bit of a jumbled mess.

Based on material previewed on its Web site, Current at first glance seems like a hipper, more irreverent version of traditional television newsmagazines.
Most of its programming will be in “pods,” roughly two to seven minutes long, covering topics like jobs, technology, spirituality and current events.

I dunno. “Al Gore” and “Hip” just really don’t mesh. Maybe I’ll submit a film on Tipper and censorship…

    “Most of its programming will be in ‘pods'”
    Well, yeah. I’ve always suspected that Al Gore came from a pod.

    They don’t mean whale pods, Mr. Bingley? That’s what I would have thought, given Algore’s weight gain after the 2000 elections.

    “Personally, I think that for EW, “subversive” and “classic” is a redundancy. It’s part of the larger trend to regard controversy as inherently virtuous: edgy, irreverent, and unorthodox are tossed around as terms of praise rather than descriptives.” Somebody get that clever fellow a beer!
