Primetime in BCN

   As many of you probably already know, the Spanish 'life-clock' is very unique when compared to the U.S. or even other European countries for that matter. On average, Spaniards get about 45 minutes less sleep than the typical European, even thought they still take a quick siesta in the afternoon, after their 'late' 2 or 3 pm lunch.
   Interestingly enough, this different bio-clock translates to other aspects of daily life as well, like work-schedules, waking hours, and surprisingly enough, television programming.
   In the U.S. prime time TV usually lasts from 8 to 10, but here in Barcelona, prime time TV doesn't usually start until American kids are tucked away, fast asleep in bed after seeing who got ousted on this week's American Idol. Instead, Barcelona and Spanish prime time begins arount 10, and ends at 12, or sometimes 1. I wanted to talk about this for the sole fact of posting this video clip from Crackovia, a popular sketch-comedy show. I think it might be able to explain a little about Catalan culture and Barcelona....

And then there's this;

And this is the primetime TV here. It cracks me up. Cristiano Ronaldo is such a tool.

Palabra del Dia: Tonto - Silly

"Crackovia" is a silly show, but still funny.
