Wearing all black clothes on the mainstream media...
Have you noticed how there is a sort of 'inside joke' on television these days for wearing alll black clothes on television?

This funereal outfit is no mere coincidence and I have myself heard some of the more cynical and dark 'arty' media types, the ones you wonder what on earth they have to offer in any mediation role.
I'm pretty much convinced now that this is BOTH a lifestyle choice and a serious attempt by the forces of darkness to populate our television screens, of course this has a subtle effect on us and like sheep we all unconsciously start buying black clothes too.
