TV, The Mulch For A Nation Of Vegetables
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I broke tradtion tonight, I watched TV. For the record, I haven't
|
||
|
|
actually sat down and watched more than 15 minutes of TV for over a year now.
|
||
|
|
I was quickly reminded of why I stopped watching the "idiot box" all that time
|
||
|
|
ago. My reason is simply that it is tripe, pure and simple. Sure, every once
|
||
|
|
and a while you can find something worth watching on the Discovery cahnnel or
|
||
|
|
perhaps public television, but not that often.
|
||
|
|
Besides, who need to watch public TV when there are other channels that
|
||
|
|
have a lot more hype and music and pretty colors to amuse the airheads that TV
|
||
|
|
breeds. Why sit in school all day and then come home and learn something on
|
||
|
|
the tube when you can go to VH1 or MtV and see all the pretty lights. Heh.
|
||
|
|
VH1 actually has the gall to say that it is keeping over 47 million
|
||
|
|
Americans from being like their parents. The commercial shows a hip into it
|
||
|
|
kinda guy flipping channels and then being amazed at what he gets from the
|
||
|
|
miracle channel of VH1. His parents are in the upper room snoozing in front
|
||
|
|
of the TV looking dumpy, middle aged, etc. This has got to be the most self-
|
||
|
|
centered, egomaniacal, and pointless commercial that I've seen in a while.
|
||
|
|
(Keep in mind I don't watch TV.) What this commercial tells us is that any-
|
||
|
|
one over the age of 29 or so is dumpy, lazy, and sleeps in front of the TV.
|
||
|
|
VH1 gives no thought to the fact that for the most part when the people who
|
||
|
|
have kids today were young they were resposible for some of the major changes
|
||
|
|
in society today. Who does VH1 think participated in all the shit of the
|
||
|
|
sixties and seventies? Do they assume that the older generation of today never
|
||
|
|
did shit? Do they think that it was the embryos that watch them now that did
|
||
|
|
all the work? No, all the "uncool" old people that have the kids who watch
|
||
|
|
their mind-candy did all that. All the "retro" crap that people like today
|
||
|
|
was originated by the "fuddy-duddys" that seem so boring today.
|
||
|
|
TV has created generation after generation of mindless slaves. Take
|
||
|
|
the "retro" things that everyone buys now. Where did they get the idea? From
|
||
|
|
watching TV of course. TV has created a generation that is so dependent on
|
||
|
|
having our lives dictated by a box filled with circuts and tubes that we can't
|
||
|
|
even come up with our own movements. We can't even find our own fasions, we
|
||
|
|
revert to wearing the fashions of twenty years ago. What is next? Will we
|
||
|
|
seek out the Flintstones to give us our next fasions? I can't wait untill I
|
||
|
|
get to see the empty headed TV spawn wearing animal skins and screaming "Yabba
|
||
|
|
Dabba DOOOOO!" Can't you just picture it?
|
||
|
|
Its true, people do let TV dictate life to them. Before people go out,
|
||
|
|
they check the weather on TV, even though weather is completely unpredictable,
|
||
|
|
and your friendly neighborhood weatherman has a better chance of being wrong
|
||
|
|
than right.
|
||
|
|
Did you know that over 25 million Americans can't read at all? No
|
||
|
|
shit. I bet all of them can watch television though. I would even bet that
|
||
|
|
a lot of them would have rather watched TV as kids than do their homework after
|
||
|
|
school. TV breeds stupidity, because that is its inherent nature. TV is
|
||
|
|
essentially a way of providing information to the masses so that they don't
|
||
|
|
have to do anything messy or uncomfortable like reading, or thinking.
|
||
|
|
TV also influences what we read. Look at the more widely read "News"
|
||
|
|
type papers. Look at USA Today, and look at is big print, easy to comprehend
|
||
|
|
articles, and look at the big colorful pictures that fill every page. Now go
|
||
|
|
to People magazine. If you'll notice the mostly text parts are in the front,
|
||
|
|
well hidden and kind of moved to the back in the table of contents. Now look
|
||
|
|
at the main body of the paper. If you'll kindly notice, all the big articles
|
||
|
|
have more space devoted to pictures than to the actual journalistic effort.
|
||
|
|
Largely in part to TV we are a very visual nation, with more emphasis on what
|
||
|
|
we can see, rather than what we have to read. Hooray for Television.
|
||
|
|
Do your brain a favor, read a good t-file, pick up a book, look around
|
||
|
|
and see what those who depend on TV have become. Look at the brain dead veg
|
||
|
|
heads that sit in front of a screen all day, and laugh. Like it says at the
|
||
|
|
end of the file, "Knowledge is power".
