Yak TV??

It is here at last! The channel that yak fans have been clamoring for.

Mongolian Internet TV

Please, Please. Restrain yourselves. I know that this is exciting news and most of the readers of Yak Herder Central are eager to sign up for Mongolian TV. You may want to wait a bit though.

Contrary to many expectations, Zak the Yak does not yet have his own show. There are some other shortcomings of Mongolian Internet TV. The schedule is a bit sparse. Programing does not begin until late afternoon. It is much like TV in the US was in the late 1940s.

As a public service The Swami wondered how he could help Mongolian TV lurch forward into the 21st century without taking the 50+ years that it took the US to move from only a few hours of TV per day to the cornucopia of wonderful, highly-educational choices we have today. Swami asked himself what is the key difference between 1950s TV and today's TV.

Eureka!! Infomercials. That's what's missing.

By Jove, Clive. I believe that's the answer.

All that the Mongolian TV channel needs to do is add 16-18 hours a day of infomercials for Flab Master, Yak-hair Toupees, get-rich-quick schemes for selling yak milk by yak mail, and The Yurt Shopping Network.

And above all, Mongolian TV is probably more uplifting than our evening news.
