Looking at ‘TardeAR’ without blinking atrophies the ocular nerve

There is consternation among the union of ophthalmologists in Spain due to the message reiterated, several times, on full screen, that has just been launched Ana Rosa Quintana in his program ‘TardeAR’ (T5). He says this, in a tone of defiant warning: “If you blink, you’ll miss it.” and they attached photos of the queen Letizia of Tamara Falco and her husband Ìñigo Onieva; of David Beckhamand of Victoria Federica, Froilán’s sister.

Ah! This requirement to watch without blinking has been a very considerable blow to the eye health of viewers. They justified it because they claimed to have five phenomenal exclusives, in a row, one after the other, and released in the same afternoon. It could seem like a colossal feat. The first, about Tamara and Onieva, was to teach us that on Sunday they were in Rome and went to mass, and while Tamara He devoutly followed the religious service, he was looking at his cell phone the entire time. The second, that the queen Letizia, after the Flag Pledge of Eleanor, spoke with the families of the cadets “like another mother, like another mother!” The third, which Beckham has visited Fernando Alonso at the Qatar Grand Prix and “There was great complicity between the two stars!”.

The fourth, that they have seen Victoria Federica with a young man in Ibiza, but they don’t know who he is or what his name is. And the fifth: that Shakira calls his ex-father-in-law “the ogre!”before which Ana Rose commented: “Please! “To the ‘witch’ mother-in-law and the ‘ogre’ father-in-law!” and she was very stunned. Ah! I understand that television afternoons are now a stark struggle to engage, in any way, the staff. Afternoons in which Ana Rose He is not achieving the success he expected. We have even seen Xavier Sardà, one of his regular collaborators, trying to create excitement by measuring the length of penises with a tape measure in his hand. But this succession of ‘exclusives’, followed without blinking, can cause the optic nerve to atrophy and cause general blindness. It is natural that the ophthalmological union is concerned.

I remember that when Barcelona Televisió had just opened, in 1994 or 1995, I participated in a debate about television in which I was Joan Brossa. He said: “TV is the gum for the eyes.” In other words, you blink, you don’t feed, but you get hooked. Now it’s worse. Now we are coerced to keep our eyes open all the time. They don’t even give us the humble restorative rest of blinking.
