Network: TV is a goddamn amusement park

Sure you can watch tv, but really watch.
See through it.

tv is the ultimate tool
to make you lame
to keep you lame
and then when you all are lame
they feed you with a view upon the lame life of others
and then you and your lame friends can comment on them
there is a button on your TV
when you push it 'off'
it turns your life 'on'

"If it is not in the media... it did not happen.
If it did not happen, but is in the media... we believe it has happened."
Charles T. Tart

"When I was young, the TV had dignity - it went off, now it's like some prostitute in Las Vegas - it's on all night." Paul Mooney

Television... The more you watch people behave immorally, the more you consider the behavior normal and permissible. This may not apply to you personally, but when the images are presented night after night, year after year, to a population of millions of people, there are effects on that population.
