Kill your television & save your life

Wow... that was freeKin awesome!

Glad you liked it. I am sure that many people lost jobs as the F in FCC is for FEDERAL. I too liked that way he laid away Reagan. The rouge, the haircolor...and the country bought it, swallowed it and now lives in it's daily stink. The stink left by that man is tremendous. The awful part is that Ronnie was not a real religious guy. However, when he was read the rules of the moral majority, he suddenly became one of the pack. The pack that mixes God with money as if either had anything to do with one another. I digress.
I don't remember if I sent this forward to my connections but it is a very good video and as you say "Freaking Awesome."

Oi, privateibber!

I've yet to see the movie all the way through! I went to Blockbuster a day ago to get it and they didn't carry it, I wasn't surprised.

As soon as I get a copy and finally get to watch it I'll be sure to get back to you with my thoughts.

Blockbuster is owned my the Morman church and I know they filter some movies out not sure if this is one of them or if the particular Blockbuster I went to just didn't carry it.

You'll get used to it, I didn't like it either at first but now like this girl that sat next to me in my public relations class... it will grow on you!

Word'em up!

I'm finding that now I'm into more books and now that I'm blogging my arse off my spelling and writing abilities are getting better. I used to not like writing at all now I'm actually contemplating taking some writing classes to prepare to actually write something.

There's definitely a time and a place for the tele but everything in moderation for sure.

Television time should be like masturbation. Think about it, look at different tv's, fantasize about having one for yourself then play with it for a few minutes... go to sleep!

I know what you mean amigo, its like we look to the television for comfort. The tele these days is either your best friend, your ex-boy/girlfriend or someone you hook up with every once in a while when you drink!

A'hoy Alisa!

I would have to agree with what you said about us all seeking answers and approval... so true. I don't know about people looking to television for answers as much as the approval, I think you're on to something though.

It would seem to me that most likely folks subconsciously watch the tele to see what's cool and what's not, what to talk about the next day at work and to quiet any fears they may have about current events in the world. If the tele tells me its okay then it must be okay.

All in all I think this feeds to the overall anxiety of the human condition. We all know deep down inside that the state of affairs in the world is in a terrible place. War, disease and hunger are rampant in so many places even here in the U.S. in our big cities.

Instead of staying aware of what is really going on, asking questions and doing something about it we'd much rather cast a vote on American Idol. Perhaps we all feel subconsciously that if we push this person through that goes from rags to riches... we've done some good in the world.

LOL, oye vay... I'd hate to think we're that shallow but it is what it is.

Peace.

I wish more people had your good sensibility but unfortunately that's not so. The television for all its entertainment influences so many especially the young.

God I can remember growing up and seeing certain things on television and I wanted to be just like those guys. I remember goofy stuff like the movie "Lost Boys" after watching that I wanted to be a vampire... muah ahah. Silly but I mean really I was that impressionable, I grew my fingernails and dressed in black yada yada yada.

I'm all for entertainment believe me I can sit in front of the t.v. with the best of them but there's no denying it is a BEAST. Not to mention all the crap the advertisers poison us with the government and corporations own our asses.

Propaganda has a whole new meaning today then it did just 10 years ago and forget it if you go compare today to the 50's and 60's... who saw this coming?

I guess the bottom line is if you've got kids its the parents responsibility to filter what they're watching and put a book in their hands every once in a while. Hmm the irony is most parents probably try to be like the parents on television!

Oh where is Dr. Cliff Huxtable when you need him?

Peace.

LOL, I kind of understand where you're coming from. When I go to sleep its easier for me if I have my iPod in or if there is music playing. I mean I can go to sleep with some really good electronic music LOUD in my headphones and I sleep goooood. If I don't have my headphones in at the minimum I need a fan blowing or something. If I stay a friends and I'm on the couch or something I'll open the bathroom door and turn a fan on or use the kitchens oven fan!

I don't know what it is but I like a little sound when I sleep... ha! "sound asleep".

Peace.

LOL, that's great tell you walkman I said what up!

I'd be interested if you can remember what was the first cassette tape you ever bought?

Mine was "Def Leopard - Hysteria"

Peace

Third Eye Blind - I can't remember the name of the tape, but it had the song "Jumper" on it, I also had a WWE mix-tape too.

LOL, Third Eye Blind... claaaaasic!

Amen!

but with a billion different websites, and a fraction (though still an alarming number) of TV channels, it is hard to reach as many people on the internet as, say, ESPN does on the tv.

eventually, i think our tv's will be just like computers anyway. there will be no scheduled programming, just pick what you want, sit through a couple commercials, and rot your brain at will.

my tv has no cable, just an xbox attached. i listen to ranger games on the radio, get my news from various internet sources, and beyond that i just current.com it up!

Yeah man me too my roomies got a nice flatscreen but the only thing hooked up to it is the PS3. If I watch anything tv wise I get my torrent on. I must say though I'm a fiend for Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and the Science Channel!

NO RECEPTION WHERE YOU LIVE!!!

You must truly be blessed. I'm still trying to find my island hideaway.

Peace.

You know... the square looking thing mounted on walls everywhere you go, if you'll recall a few months ago... it was the thing that kept telling you to vote for a guy named Barack Obama.

Remember?

CHANGE, HOPE, etc.,

Peace.

Oh right, the human-made brainwashing machine. Gotcha.

seconded

I agree!!! Love Current!

Right on blknight... and yeah what we learn in school... errr MORE CONDITIONING!

LOL, its not all bad though.

Check out this vid of Steve Jobs speaking about education at Stanford if you get a sec it very inspirational.

Peace.

Revenge of the Aliens, ha ha.

Thanks for the info, very informative... its nice to know theres at least one other person out there sans television!

Ha! That is awesome and I watched every last second of it... good stuff and now I know where you got your avatar image from!

SWEET!

Peace.

That's from some insane movie I made back in 1985 with emphasis on the destruction of technology. The avatar is the famous HAL 9000 computer from 2001 a Space Odyssey, the best movie of all time. You should watch it, on someone else's TV of course.

Madness!

LOL, yeah and if anything the news is the last thing you want to watch its all filtered anyways. The powers that be... the corporations only show you what they want you to see.

Oye vay, the news is there to condition you for sure. Be it for good or bad that's its only purpose.

But eh I even get drawn in to TMZ.com every once in a wile to get my fix!

Peace.

Agreed,

The admonition to abandon the brain rot we call television comes years after I did so.

Perhaps extinguishing that conditioned response was easier for me. I was born before televisions were deemed either credible or essential in the home.

Over the years I've watched the industry sink into it's own filth. Compared to having friends, a computer, a DVD player and a local library nearby - who really needs TeeVee for anything?
