*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. Eventually, after hours of trying to listen
to the inane chitter-chatter of the lesser mind, the Nobel prize
winner would end up using a torque wrench to smash a large hole
in his own occipital lobe.
Certainly a glass-half-empty type might call TV a tick, sucking
away all individuality, and leaving us nothing more than husks
filled with digested Cheetos and Sunny Delight. Well I say go
back to teaching Smart 101 at the University of Smartness, Professor
Smart Guy Ph Smart.
Before TV, the only form of entertainment was watching retarded
people fight their reflections in mirrors. God forbid you were
stuck at your house (they called them “huts” back
in olden times). Sure people sat around their living room talking
with each other. But most of the time, they talked about how
great it would be to have a TV.
One of the many awesome things about TV, which is awesome, is
that everyone is pretty. I would have sex with anyone who lives
inside my TV, definitely including Lou Dobbs. 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... |
