Repetitive News

In these days of Christmas vacation, I always get the feeling of living a deja vu when I watch any TV program or news. This happens because it seems that the imagination, along with the brains of creative television remain as dry as a gully where no rain. Because, always, ALWAYS, repeat the same programs and news, which are basically these:
1) Summary of events of the year, devoted to this subject for hours of tedious information filling.
2) News with stories featuring people who have won a lottery prize.
3) News with people from very cold lands; they love to bathe in ice water to celebrate the new year.
4) The ice hotel and ice super-sculptures that always appear at this time in some remote place.
5) News with data from people buying food for Christmas. Provided everything is very expensive, people are shocked with that, but they always buy the same expensive things, every year.
6) Compilation of New Year celebrations in different parts of the world.
7) Outlook for the coming year, which incidentally, are always more positive than it actually happens later.

What can we do? Well, if it doesn't put anything good, then let's leave out the TV: hanging out with friends, reading or swimming is usually infinitely more rewarding, but at this time even more so.
