 BBC - Comedy Guide - Bottom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Bottom was intentionally and unashamedly juvenile, with even its title pointing to the schoolboy nature of its humour.
Mayall and Edmondson had originally named the show Your Bottom and delighted in the double entendres that it might present (eg, 'I saw Your Bottom on television last night'), but, eventually, they settled on the more succinct Bottom and instead derived pleasure from the suffixed episode titles (eg, Bottom: Smells, and Bottom: 's Up).
Rude, crude and of dubious social value, Bottom was nevertheless a lively and funny attempt at producing something that only existed to make people laugh and had no moral standpoint or base in reality.

 "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?": US television hits bottom, for now
The 2-hour program in which a concealed “multimillionaire” chose a bride from a group of fifty women and married her in a civil ceremony, after the contestants paraded around in bathing suits and semifinalists answered questions (for example, how would they spend his money?), was a thoroughly degrading spectacle.
It was denounced as televised prostitution and a “slave auction.” One editorial compared the program to the 1993 film, Indecent Proposal, in which a wealthy high roller offers a couple one million dollars if he can sleep with the wife for one night.
The editorialists may bemoan Fox television's excesses, but many of them were only too pleased to wallow in the muck of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, with all its lurid details, and they will leap to cover the next such affair.

 World's Easiest Explanation of Anamorphic 16:9 Widescreen Enhancement in DVDs
Standard televisions are already appearing that have a switch to squeeze the picture vertically by 25% without losing any resolution; the exact amount necessary to enjoy anamorphic DVDs at full resolution.
On the bright side, most television sets have enough overscan that the vertical fl bars are hidden anyway, so most viewers on a standard television wouldn't know they were getting a smaller picture and less resolution.
A television simply displays the whole grid of pixels, so each pixel's height is simply the television's height divided by the number of horizontal rows of pixels in the image, and each pixel's width is the television's width divided by the number of vertical columns of pixels in the image.
