Once you get satellite tv deals in Kansas. The best channel to watch on Satellite TV is E!. This is an entertainment channel that not only brings the latest entertainment news, but it also introduced us to the Kardashians, Ryan Seacrest and the world of celebrities and reality television.

My favorite show on E! is The Soup, which is hosted by Joel McHale. He pokes fun at reality television and celebrities and this makes for one of my favorite half-hour on television. Other shows I have enjoyed are the Live at the Red Carpet shows which follow celebrities before big events like the Grammys, the Oscars, the Baftas among others.

I enjoy their reality shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians, The Girls of the Playboy Mansion, Dr. 90210 among others. These shows let us in on the private lives of socialites and other American sweethearts. One of the most memorable shows was the Anna Nicole show which followed the life of the late former Playboy. The Top 100 lists of everything from former child stars to memorable moments in entertainment are also a thrill to watch, especially the commentators as the countdown progresses.

I am assured that by the end of each day, I am in tune with the latest celebrity gossip, upcoming box office films and I also get to enjoy my very own soaps featuring real people thanks to their reality shows. All hail a channel that needs no other name, just E!

This picture is an example of an optical illusion (also known as a visual illusion) which is a visually perceived image that differs from objective reality.The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not add up to the source of the “eye stimulation”.

There are three main types of optical illusions:

*literal: create images that are different from the objects that make them
*physiological: effects on the eyes and brain from excessive stimulation
*cognitive: when the eye and brain make unconscious inferences

Illusions are also known as “mind games”.
