   I believe so also, since it's the first "Actual Items" I recall watching   
   on my high-def TV, which I bought during the strike.  "Actual Items"   
   turns out to be really not good in HD, since you can read the   
   supposedly-humorous text before the camera zooms in on it.  I think they   
   need to consider doing a little bit of digital blurring in   
   post-production.
