Amused to death

Los anglosajones, cuando se refieren al medio televisivo (y al show business en general) suelen utilizar la palabra "entertainment". En una traducción más o menos afortunada, solemos manejar en castellano el vocablo "entretenimiento". Ciñámonos a la TV, ¿es esa su función? ¿"Entretener"? Veamos qué dice la RAE al respecto:
ENTRETENER
1. tr. Distraer a alguien impidiéndole hacer algo.
2. tr. Hacer menos molesto y más llevadero algo.
3. tr. Divertir, recrear el ánimo de alguien.
4. tr. Dar largas, con pretextos, al despacho de un negocio.
5. tr. mantener (‖ conservar).
6. prnl. Divertirse jugando, leyendo, etc.

La mayoría de definiciones no parecen muy halagüeñas, y no creo que jugar (ni mucho menos leer) sean virtudes atribuibles al visionado catódico. Bueno, ya que entretener no parece una palabra muy afortunada, digamos que la TV nos... ¿distrae?
DISTRAER
(Del lat. distrahĕre).
1. tr. divertir (‖ apartar, desviar, alejar)
2. tr. divertir (‖ entretener)
3. tr. Apartar la atención de alguien del objeto a que la aplicaba o a que debía aplicarla.
4. tr. Apartar a alguien de la vida virtuosa y honesta.
5. tr. Malversar fondos, defraudarlos.

Mmmm... vaya. A no ser que seas directivo de Telecinco (en cuyo caso la mayoría de definiciones se ajustan a la realidad como un guante), tampoco parece muy recomendable. Entonces, ¿nos quedamos con que el objetivo de la TV es divertir?
DIVERTIR
(Del lat. divertĕre, llevar por varios lados).
1. tr. Entretener, recrear. U. t. c. prnl.
2. tr. Apartar, desviar, alejar. U. t. c. prnl.
3. tr. Med. Dirigir hacia otra parte un líquido corporal.
4. tr. Mil. Dirigir la atención del enemigo a otra o a otras partes, para dividir y debilitar sus fuerzas.

Uh-oh... El lenguaje es perverso, o algo no va bien.
Curiosidad: casi al mismo tiempo que los 350.000 euros de Julián Muñoz (un escándalo, sin duda) eran noticia de primera plana, se anunció que había que "redecorar" la Zarzuela: 3,3 millones de euros.Y eso solo para empezar. No parece que nadie se haya quejado al respecto.
Puestos a elegir quién me robe, casi prefiero tener a Julián Muñoz como rey. Costaría 10 veces menos, y se pueden hacer chistes sobre él sin que ningún juez secuestre una revista.

When you really think of it, [url=http://cungmuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url] is something that can have a huge impact depending on the situation. This is simple to comprehend and natural, and it is not something that only impacts you. Therefore you do have to be cautious about what you choose and dismiss. That is precisely why we advise you take a look at all of your choices as it relates to getting the most for your efforts. What follows next are a few matters about this topic that you will want to know so you can choose the best options.

The relative difficulties of men's and women's style

Both women and men may have the demands of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion often feels a lot less complicated. Of course, for both sexes, outfits and style choices could be equally as intricate, and there are lots of'trendy'items that can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people running around in 70s flames? On the other hand, men's fashion has a few choice goods that will exist eternally - which man is planning to look out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose classic pieces, colours and materials and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why classic men's fashion is eternal

The classic man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous types for various functions, nevertheless they are all popular in their search for a clever, sharp search for the person. The neat thing about common style for men is that it's effortlessly stylish effortlessly cool. A well-groomed gentleman can typically look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the design of such clothing. A match will be used to work in several occupations due to the professional search it provides to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to many social occasions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary flexibility which allows matches to be worn in just about all situations is what gives it its timeless advantage and a permanent place in men's fashion.

Contemporary developments in classic men's style

Although basic men's designs can never be changed, it is interesting to observe that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought particular basic garments back into fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, specially, has brought back a wide-variety of common models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet elegant way, placing value on appearance and operating in a refined method. This trend for almost'over-the-top'classic style for men is evident from events such as the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages dress in particularly Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the streets on vintage cycles - with most of the men sporting flawless mustaches! This really is just one single of many types of proof presenting the revival of such styles. Additionally, there are numerous sites online which give attention to gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, although specific facets of basic men's fashion could be brought back as new movements, the basic garments which they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.
