Grant it TV may be entertaining, but too much is not good. I look at TV and say it is the beginning of the end. Many Americans spend way too much time behind the TV set. I feel as though they are being turned into zombies.
TV tells people what to watch, eat, wear, what's cool, etc, etc. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't feel as though the whole country is watching way too much television. There are just a certain few.
Some people are foolish enough to believe that Dan Marino is refinancing his house with First Plus Finacial. That Jennifer Love Hewitt uses Netrugena (however the fuck you spell that shampoo or face cleaner.) That Morgan Fairchild really shops at Old Navy. Get a clue people, these people are paid for this shit. I bet you the only reason you'll catch Brian Denehey using Zantac is because he partied too much the other night. So some celebrities use certain products they advertise. That does not mean the public should follow in their footsteps. Michael Jordan drinks Gatorade so we should all "be like Mike." Look, there most likely is nothing else to drink, and he can't get bombed on the court, so he drinks Gatorade vs. Gin & Tonic. Who is to say that Mancow uses Eagle Insurance? Mancow will support a low budget insurance agency for the same reason I would. Because you don't have to worry about corporate suits looking at you funny and giving you a high rate.
And then these shows that are on are totally fucked up. I mean, Party of Six (it took six braincells to come up with that idea.) talks about five kids whose parents died. The way they act, I think it was suicide as cause of death. The show tries to jerk at personal issues, but still, lacks the reality of them. Everything they say takes about two paragraphs when they could say the same fucking thing in one sentence. I think an incest angle would help that show out. Another ridiclous show is that Baywatch shit. Come on. Like anyone watches that for the show. They all want to see the playboy models with fake tits make their claim to fame with David Hasselhoff's help. They probably need to go down on him at least 3 times a day, but it's worth it. It's the so called World's most popular show. Guys watch it for masterbation material, and not too many women watch it unless they are gay. If they are, I would like to see what kind of reaction they get watching those lifeguards run through the sand. I think that television has become a way of life and the characters become household names, and to be honest, it makes me sick.
The only television that is worth watching is wrestling. Everyone says it fake, and stupid, but I find it quite entertaining myself. Seeing people with T-shirts on, and going to live events is pretty neat. Now these people really shouldn't be looked up to as role models, but they are more suitable to the part than fucking Leonardo DiCaprio who is posing nude for some magazine. I think for the women's sake, he;d better be hung like a horse because no woman fantasizes about having a boy make love to them. Good actor, but I think he needs to do something with that face.
Role models are people like me. Who are honest, and stand up for what's right, and are not afraid to say it. You know come to think of it, I think some wrestlers would make great role models. South Park is a funny show too. I like Ally MacBeal and I do not believe that Calista Flockhart is anorexic. I think that those are fat people who do not have the charisma she has starting that rumor. Another thing, why is it when someone hits the top, everyone wants to knock them down? I don't get it.
Another good example of the public getting too involved with TV is Mike Tyson. Rapist extrodinare, and cannibal. This guy beats up women rapes little girls, and bites off ears of people, and sure enough boxing is ready to accept him again, along with the rest of the general public. I still am shocked he took part in Wrestlemania XXIV. What, are we forgiving him? Hell let's build a golf course called "Hidden Criminals Lakes" and Tyson along with OJ and anyone else who has fucked up and got away with it can play golf. It seems that's all OJ does nowadays, besides fucking people who look alike to his estranged, dead, wife.
I think that is why females should stay away from rich guys who have alot of fame and power. The media has tried to depict Nicole Simpson as a party girl, and she got what she deserved. Ofcourse they are not going to come out and say that but she was trying to escape her life of madness with the former footplayer. I think OJ should come out retirement, be decapitated, and have his head be used as a football. That would be justice. Not giving the Heissman Trophy award to someone who didn't play football.
I think TV takes the word "conscience" out of people's vocabulary. The boob tube is deciding who are the good guys in life and who are the bad. And that is really fucked up. I feel that TV should be what it is, family entertainment, and that is all.
That is all for now. Sorry, but my thought process kept changing.
Rock on!!!! Hi ho steamroller, and away!!!!
