hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.
TV bores intelligent women
"We're not going to watch your prime time programs or put up with your ads much longer because, basically, we're bored witless and we're not going to take it any more.We're also over the free-to-air prime time TV shows. You expect us to watch an endless stream of jerks, jocks, docs, cops and corpses.
We're proud of our achievements and we're sick of the sexualisation or sell-out of women. We refuse to fit your ageing stereotype and we like humour.
So, what will we do when we stop watching TV? Plenty."

Awesome. We need more intelligent people to come out of their wildernesses and speak out about television and the mass media which are in the business of appealing to the most base desires of society in order to capture people's attention and advertise 'unique' brands of products and services which are usually much the same as all the other competing brands. Sit down, 'tune in, and drop out'... it's this kind of pacifistic human consumption of information that television and other parts of the commercial media depend on us for.
It's a parasitical state of affairs, yes, but perhaps the most damaging aspect of television is that its shows influence the values, opinions, and behaviours of an unwitting audience. Its a vicious circle, in that the most pacifistic, transient, and also self-cantered desires that attract one to the screen are cultivated by the often mundane worlds that each show offers the viewer an escape into.
Come back to reality. Is there anybody... out there?
