• There are only 3 things important in a women’s life: washing clothes and talking about it, cooking food using packets of processed crap for their families and having men that drink beer and watch football whistle at them in the street
• A flooded street corner is “News”. It deserves a 20 minute live segment
• Commercials that take up half the screen and have sound are to be shown during a football match.
• By law, football commentary must mention Diego Maradona every 45 seconds
• In case they forget what they are watching, it’s advisable to run a trailer for the program you are showing during that very same program
• Argentina has already won the 2010 World Cup. It’s just that the rest of the world doesn’t know it yet
• Light entertainment shows kill your soul just a little bit each time you watch them
• To be a star on Argentinian TV it’s important that you don’t actually look real
