I’m having trouble deciding whether TV is getting stupider or if I’m just getting fastidious. Everything from commercials to its shows seems to piss me off to no ends. However TV seems to be a double edge blade as it produces a population of people that inspire a vehement ire that can’t be healthy for my blood pressure. Before I mercilessly slash into the weak psychological fiber they call their ego; I’m going to batter down my most hated commercials. Does having Duracell supply their batteries to hospitals give you confidence? Not me. If their shitty batteries can’t even power my mp3 player for longer than 3 hours, I most certainly don’t trust the hospitals that accept their low grade power pills. I make it a habit to ask the ambulance to take me to the nearest hospital that doesn’t endorse Duracell. I don’t care if it’s an hour away, I’ll take my chances holding out till then. At least when I get there I can relax knowing that anything vital that operates on batteries won’t die out. Lucky for Duracell I can’t remember they’re slogan. They have Energizer to thanks. They’re ad campaign is the most deceptive one I’ve ever encountered. When you hear, “it just keeps going and going and going” you assume they are talking about their supposed longer lasting battery. What they’re really saying is you’ll keep going and going to the mall to buy more and more of their batteries since they’re platinum batteries are just a cheap marketing ploy to steal your money. I’m going to strive to perfect nuclear fission, in spite of these power conglomerates. While watching that 70's show a commercial came on. That one with rappers and how much richer they are, but only because they have had a cell phone at a crucial part in their life. What kind of garbage is this? I suppose it's the kind of marketing garbage that makes us envious of the talent less retards that make big money because they had a cell phone when they were younger. OH SHIT! I have to go buy a cell phone right away so I can become popular and faceless in a mass of sheep who aspire to do nothing with their life and earn big money. You'll have to excuse if I’m not clubbing people out of my way for the newest cell phone plan. Speaking of which, why did this become so important? It's almost a life or death decision now for the amount of advertisement it's getting. It is possible to see 15 phone plan advertisements on any particular station within 3-4 hours, but maybe, just maybe see 2-3 on life insurance. Did our digestive system suddenly evolve to accept satellite waves as a viable source of nutrients? It's almost like this is the biggest life decision anyone will have to make in their entire lives, and if you fall prey to the marketing scheme it may very well be. Well I at least take solace in the fact that if I ever feel at all discouraged that life isn't going my way, I can go out and buy a cell phone to make it big in the music industry. Hey, if it worked for a celebrity it can work for me too, otherwise they would advertise it like that....right? Idiots, I’m glad cell phones cause brain damage and cancer. It means that they'll all die sooner and we can move on to the next meaningless trend to sate the populations’ obvious need for individuation, while fitting into a group who emulate the exact same ideologies and customs. All of it dictated by a puppet controlled by some fat white republican making millions on the average idiot. Isn't that ironic? All those suites that you thought were so wack and uncool, actually dictate to you what cool is. Why not just hand over your brains and all the money you make now and accept a bar code as your name. It will save everyone a lot of time, money and frustration. Have you ever heard people complain about the media promoting stereotypes and that it is the leading perpetuator of these stereotypes? If you haven’t encountered these people, consider yourself lucky to have avoided these loud ignorant preachers. I find this subject is like the age old philosophical question, “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” To compare lets say the media is the egg and we are the chicken. I say this because the media is wholly dependent on us and could not exist if we did not need it to exist. We created the media much like the chicken created the egg. Now the stereotype is the mutation that gets perpetuated. It seems to me that as the chicken evolved it would pass it down to the egg to perpetuate that mutation. Or in our case, we create a stereotype and the media mimics it. It mimics it because they want it to appeal to the largest number of people and a stereotype appeals to so many people because they are widely accepted. Inversely it makes just as much sense that the mutation occurred in the egg to make the final change to the chicken. This would imply that the media started the stereotype and we as people continue to endorse it because it seems a fitting adaptation. Both cases seem equally feasible and to put the blame all on television is childish. Speaking of childish adults, I can’t stand whiney parents who bitch about the things on TV. I’d like to take them out into cold dark forest to have them disemboweled with a wooden cooking spoon. It irritates me to no end when lazy, negligent parents bitch about to much sex or violence on TV so they go on a cranky, sand-in-their-vagina crusade to censor the humanity out of TV. This means any decent show I might want to watch is removed of any content that might be entertaining. If these parents have so much energy to fight the media, why don’t they use it to do some actual parenting? It stress me to the point of an arterial explosion how these parents use TV as cheap babysitter and refuse to monitor what they’re children watch. THe pethatic excuse is usually something along the lines of a career or they can’t watch them all the time. That maybe true, but it isn’t beyond your powers to teach them good moral behaviour and the difference between fiction and reality. More to the point, it is within your power as a parent to restrict the amount of television he/she watches by giving them sports, books to read, or even chores to do. No wonder the worlds going to hell, we’ve had nothing but burnt out hippies and negligent power hungry aggressors as parents. As part of a request I’ll tell you about a few things that I happen to enjoy. I enjoy drinking, partying and conversing with my friends. Working with the military is the greatest job I’ve ever had. Exercise and martial arts are among my most enjoyable past times. I can’t read enough philosophy, history, or war books. My role model to whom I look up too is George Carlin. He is the single greatest comedian in my opinion. I’m also very fond of this girl at school who’s very shy but has great ambitions in life. I adore learning and I don’t ever want to leave school. I thank chance for the fortune I have of living in an educated society. I above all else love myself. I can’t get enough of how grand and spectacular I am. Well that’s all for now, people need to die and I’m great. I’ve lost my motivation to conclude this piece.
