04-03-2010 Why do they take these items off the shelves ? Smith's tomato flavoured crisps, Robert Timm's decaffeinated coffee, Sweet potato bites, Sanitarium Vegi-Roast, naturally sweetened low food acid cordials, peanut butter made with peanut oil, pectin or vegetable gum based jellies or jelly sweets, carob bars. (more to come) Why is it so impossible to buy decaffeinated coffee in 200 gram (or larger) containers ? (ref : TFG012T) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18-08-2009 The so called "sport" of boxing (of any type) is too dangerous to matruring brains. It should be banned for anybody under the age of 18 years. Professional competitions should only be allowed for people at and above the age of 21 years. I'm upset to see the medical profession object to boxing by making the smallest whimper they have made yet. (ref : TFG011T) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11-02-2009 When will they start using peanut oil in peanut butter, instead of generic "vegetable oil" ? (ref : TFG010T) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 06-02-2009 While showing an interview, the camera must always remain focussed on the face (or body as long as it includes the face) of the person being interviewed while they are reacting to a question or statement, and while they are speaking. The interview is to find out something from or, something about the person being interviewed, not to be a vehicle for the interviewer's ego. If the interviewer must get his face on the screen then make sure it is only while the interviewer is speaking or asking a question. Bob Shepherd  (ref : TFG009T)

How can heavily advert laden glossy magazines and heavily advert laden newspapers, who have already made a fortune before distribution, have the gall to charge the readers to buy them.

How can some magazines (& some puzzle books) say "you can win X amount of dollars on this puzzle”, when the amount stated is the total prize pool for that puzzle, and it is impossible for any one person to win it all.
Surely it is illegal to state such a lie.
Shouldn't they be fined, or at the very least, be told to cease this practice.

Company shares should not exist.
Shares and shareholders help put pressure on companies to create amoral and immoral decisions for the sake of profit.

Funerals are thoughtless, torturous affairs .
Family and friends should be saved from such unnecessary pain and suffering ..
Hadn't they suffered enough when the person was dying or when they found out the person was dead ..
Why make them go through all that pain again, and why create hypocrites out of those who really didn't feel a great deal for the deceased ..

When did television "Sports Breaks" become reclassified as " News Breaks" ?

Channel Seven in Australia especially needs to think this over..

If most computer games allow you to turn off the music track, why is this feature not also available for DVD's and television broadcasts ?

Not everybody likes to have their soundtrack swamped with background music ..
Some people actually like to hear what is being said and hear the background noises, without the whitewash ..

We viewers are mature enough to know what we are feeling, without the swamping of emotional claptrap that usually drowns out the movie or documentary ..
If we want to hear the (and I use the term loosely) mood music then we should have the option of turning it back on ..
In many cases ..  I feel the music is there because of bad direction in the first place ..

When will film and video directors stop tripping out on Speed and stay with an individual scene from one camera or camera angle, until it has played out ..
And when will directors stop using drunken camera operators ..
Steadycam has been around long enough now for most film directors to know of it ..

While on the subject of film and video directing ..
When will directors learn that it is absolutely imperative that dancers whole bodies and complete dance moves are always shown while they being filmed dancing ..
