The Real Purpose of American Media is not Alone or Helpless.
Edited on Fri May-27-05 03:41 PM by Tandalayo_Scheisskop
I have not seen TV in 4 years. I have seen enough in the last 4 days to make me my head really explode.

What did I see?

Decollatage and asscheeks in profusion. whatever happened to The Scully Effect? She was tight and beautiful and always well-dressed. Now, it's nothing but T&A. Jeebus...it's a titty bar out there.

I'm no prude. I love tits. Love' 'em. But Sweet Bleedin

Guns and death. Goddamit, what is with all the guns and death? The fucking M5 is the standard TV prop now. Fucking gun and face camoflauge grease porn.

All news is spun right. All of it. No dissenting opinion. I watched choices of reason being cut off in discussion. And that dweeb they had on with Coulter last night? Gimme a day to prepare and let me at her ass. There will be nothing left. Better yet, send Pitt.

Nothing about the economy. Nothing substantive. Nothing real. Just lies and half-truths.

Don't get me started about "Room Raiders". When that young woman tasted that Banana=flavored condom? All you need to know about TV.

And all the religious shows? In the midst of all that? C'mon. I am an Episcopalian. What ever happened to quietly living it. Letting you light oh shine before all men, so they can see your good works, and glorying your own god. That shit is simply MTV feeding the right-wing. The greek orthodox peeps were more onto it about Chruarianity. What does that tell us? They were talking about Icons.

Where is the quietly powerful Christianity? The Real Deal? The people who really live it? Why don't they have a show?

We are going down. Hard. Anyone have directions to the barricades? Or the proposed site plans?

They are coming, them barricades, and I welcome them. Bring on the Barricades.

It's time to Refresh some Roots.

4. Guns and T&A
Those 2 things make America the greatest nation in history. What other nation would allow machine gun shooting girls in bikinis?

As for religious shows, what is the point? I seen them and it's a plea to get money out people by use of fear of Hell and some guy called Satan. PT Barnum said it best.

3. That bad, eh?
What a pity. The medium has so much potential.

Have been studiously avoiding it since 1988, and I see it hasn't improved.

5. HORSESHIT!!!!
Wake up. Start watching again and get mad! IT is why our country is the mess that it is.

All you need to know about America is on the TV.

Stop sniffing disdainfully. Get mad and active.

6. ARE YOU NUTS?
I'd rather bite off my own breasts that watch that CRAP.

I didn't like it when I was a kid -- the canned laughter, the fake situations -- I couldn't stand it now, that EVERYTHING I LOATHE is on it.

Mister: if I got any angrier, I'd be dead.

That's all.

8. I've two daughters
and the messages sent via corporate TV these days are frightening. Does take a hiatus to appreciate how lowbrown we've become as a nation. I'm teaching my girls to become warriors with wings.
