Your reaction to Gail Kim stating that she will never return to WWE?
When people see something on T.V. that they don't like, I hear them say things like "I don't want to give them ratings, turn it off!" Would they really be helping their ratings? How do they know what we're watching? Are they really keeping track of every single individual television set? I remember once at our house, we were involved in some type of T.V. ratings thing... we were supposed to log every single thing we had on the T.V. whenever it was on. I was led to believe THIS was how they got their ratings... that they sampled a small population and estimated the rest. So, how does it work?
No, most people don't hurt or help the ratings. Some people (between 5000-9000) are asked to participate in the Neilson Ratings where they write down what they watched or they have a black box hooked to the tv that transmits back to the headquarters. Each family's watching habits are supposed to show what 100,000+ other families are watching. Pretty accurate way of doing it, huh?
They're bogus: they take a small sample and extrapolate from those figures. don't worry, they can't tell what you've been watching :-)
| Each formed person should love and understand art – the literature, painting, music, cinema. There are people who equally love books, musik , pictures, an opera, films etc. I cannot tell that I concern different displays of art equally ardently. At present priority for me is cinema. The cinema is a surprising art. The cinema is likely the lung for perception and the understanding, the most accessible art. The cinema is a fast art. If to read the book, week film viewing occupies a maximum of hour three is necessary to the average person a minimum. |
