TV as an Artform
morse code translation (download brochure above for full text and images)

*Since the dawn of the cathode tube, television has been one of the world’s most defining forms of expression. From the broadcast of the first man to walk on the moon to the first turd squeezed on to a pizza (Drawn Together Episode 107), television has demonstrated its massive ability to change the world. Anyone can slap some paint on to a canvas or take a picture of a baby dressed as a stupid flower, but it takes a certain amount of, let’s call it “magic” to bring TV to the masses.

TV unites the great and the small as one. How else could a Noble Prize winner and an auto worker connect if not for the shared joy of NBC’s Thursday night lineup? The answer is that they couldn’t.

I certainly can’t say that about that piece of shit invention of Marconi’s, the “radio.” Or as I like to call it the “sucks-ass-dio.” For no matter how smooth and silky Radio Folk sound, in fact all radio stars are ugly! Uglier even than the stars of books. I know for a fact that everyone on the radio has a face like that fat fuck Marconi’s greasy Italian anus. Here it is: *. God, just thinking about radio makes me want to puke. (Or as they say in Stupid Radio Language...
