Yes, that should be their motto instead of “It’s for you”.

The mbc network has been advertising an interesting episode of the CBS show 60 minutes. Of course, they figured out that the best time to air that show would be 6:00am KSA, which is 5:00am our time. Completely dismayed, i looked up their schedule at their website (mbc.net), and i found out that this program will repeat at 2:00am. Although i had a long day already, i decided to stay up late and catch that show.

It is 2:18am now, and sure enough mbc4 decided to screw with me and air a different program that is not listed on their OFFICIAL WEBSITE SCHEDULE !!! Instead of 60 minutes i am now in the pleasant company of …. guess what …. BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS!!! Instead of watching a semi-intelligent show, i am now looking at rappers wearing sun glasses at night, inside a fully closed hall !!! This is just awful

WTF mbc !! Please fix your scheduling, and display the CORRECT schedule on your website … this is just beyond annoying!!

My Dell laptop is about 14 months old. I have learned to live with its quirks. For example, if you close the screen lid and open it again, there is a small chance that the monitor will not be turned on !! Another one is that when the timezone changes, due to daylight savings, the laptop spends a few days in a state of denial. Then, it fights back by screwing my clock every now and then. Eventually it gives up after a week or so, and submits to the new time.

So now, as i was about to my first “real” post, i noticed that my laptop claims it is 2am even though the sun is already up and shining !!

Oh Dell … why do you hate me ??
