Max Headroom

You know you’ve hit the big leagues when you get the notice of yours truly from one of your comments on my site. BRB is probably dancing around praising the heavens that I finally acknowledge him. That guy has some wacko ideas and even worse, lives by them. While I don’t knack his photography, I do knock his fashion sense.

All joking aside, BRB is the man for bringing up this piece of 80s goodness – Max Headroom. Max Headroom (as seen in this picture) is from a TV show in 1987 (but started in the UK in 1985…whoa!) which revolved around…man, I don’t remember. All I know is that he was a rep for Coca-Cola.

In all honesty, I can remember watching this show, but cannot remember what the show was about. I was fairly young when it came out so higher level concepts probably alluded. By the way, if someone even thinks of making a crack about how higher level concepts probably allude me to this day, consider yourself on the blacklist.

I just remember thinking it was sooo coool to be a character inside a computer. Heck, I probably didn’t even have a computer at that time so I thought that a computer could do this. Little did I know that the only things that I would see on a computer were the following:

Wow. That’s great. What the heck can I do with that?

Anyhow, I would like people to share their memoirs of Max Headroom in the comments section. Let’s relive the moment where AI almost took over the world! Wait…is Max Headroom the precursor to the Matrix? I can envision a hilarious spoof right now.
