There has been a fast-food advertisement recently that features O mio babbino caro which seems an odd kind of sentiment for it. I was reminded of this by another advertisement just now for a broadband service, which incongruously plays us music from Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds. Perhaps they assume that viewers probably don't recognize these; I wonder if even the people constructing the advertisements know what they're using.

I can't help but notice television streaming services raising their prices again. Most of them don't carry enough that I want to be worth the price they ask. I used to cover for this by subscribing to the couple that do while using DVD-by-post rental for late catchup on the one or two shows that I may want from each of the others. Though, Disney seemed to be tending not to release their shows also on DVD, and the by-mail services have also been growing more expensive, or ending altogether.
I wonder where this is going and how people respond. Fortunately, I don't have much time for engaging dramas at the moment anyway, and what's available for free here largely covers me. Still, I suspect that VPN services are doing well these days.
