Damn that TV and its petulant allure. Heinous vacuum that robs me of my mind. Damn the movies and their overpriced ersatz entertainment. Repetitive mockery of art and humanity. Abomination of those unnameable atrocities we call emotion. They get it wrong every time and yet we still go. Pay. Sit. Watch. Gorge on fatty popcorn and diet cola of course, thinking it'll be different. That we won't know who dies. Who lives. Or where the original story came from.
Is there anything new left to create? Has it all been done? Shall we just begin now wishing for the great plague that wipes out most of the population? Setting back the clock on humanity to a few hundred years before it became this boring.
To begin again with politics, religion and entertainment. It would only end up the same. Overpaid morons captivating underpaid idiots. But at least there'd be a few hundred years grace before it became as fucked up as it is now. Maybe somewhere in between there'd be an ice age. That'd teach us not to buy into and pay them for all their bullshit.
You know, if everyone stopped going to movies every friday/saturday night they'd be forced to come up with something worthy of separating us from the money we worked so hard for. It's sad when you think about it. Millions of poor schlubs paying $12 a pop to see some crap movie that makes all the people involved in said crap movie wealthy enough to make yet more crap movies that millions more poor schlubs pay $14 a pop to see.
It's a vicious cycle. If you think they're overpaid then do something about. Stop giving them your money. Actors, directors, athletes. If you've brains enough to know they make far to much money. Do something about it. The only thing you can. Stop paying them.
