SO-
I just sat in the corner of the room and felt myself getting dumber and dumber. My roommates congregated in the living room to view this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Aka-- the longest commercial of the year. Yes the super bowl and American Idol are probably very close in ranking...but currently I'm not heated about them.
This supersaturated media acceptance is enough to make your brain explode. Why do we feel that praising people for mediocre flashy marketing is what every American teen should enjoy?
I want to crawl in a hole to regain parts of my soul that have been lost.
I don't care about Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton or any of these "stars." What are they doing?
I think we need to rethink everything. Not just the climate or abortion or gay rights...no no no. We need to strip everything down and see what the hell it is we stand for?
I don't even want to turn on my tv. I mean there are shows out there that are intellegent. I just feel like the rest of them muck everything up and destroy television as a whole.
Shows I'd suggest people watch:
(I'll start with my favorites and then go to things that others may like)
30 Rock
The Office
Weeds
SNL
Meet The Press
ANYTHING ON Turner Classic Movies or PBS
AMC
The Weather Channel
Shark Week
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Chelsea Lately
The Soup (PS these two E! shows depend on the dumbasses on reality television...so it's kinda a catch 22.)
The New Adventures of Old Christine
Law and Order (Pick one)
Desperate Houswives
Ugly Betty
I don't think the 24 hour news stations are okay...it's too much
VH1 is now prostitution central
I just can't take it anymore.
I think I'll just watch movies and a select group of shows and turn this shit off...
I'll focus on Reading, writing and whatever the fuck else.
Also kids should play with blocks and be outside....video games are not babysitters.
