Outside the box - 2 Why Television is pointless.

What I really would love to know, does anyone else notice how tacky television has become?
It's a walking parody of itself.

For instance, has anyone ever actually taken an unbiased look at the audience shots on shows like "Deal or no Deal"? It is something reminiscent of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. something happens, Pan to crowd cheering or sighing! decision to make? crowd screams!

Television interrupts the natural flow of storytelling. Strategically placed within each show is a storyline structure that almost none deviate from. placed within each plot is a set of well-placed mini climaxes that serve two purposes. The first purpose is to keep you watching, yearning for more, through 3 to 5 minutes of advertisements. The second purpose is to keep your mind open and active, so that those adverts can brainwash you properly.

My second qualm with the tube is the way stations like Fuse, MTV, and VH1 operate. They make music popular, music does not make itself popular. Artists such as Coldplay, Sara barellis, 50 cent, Rhianna, Chris brown, and many more owe everything to these media monstrosities that force feed you music and tell you it is good. They are media juggernauts, and they've been forcing musical advancement in the direction they desire. I know there are super popular bands that we all love and have a guilty pleasure for. What we don't realise is that most of them are pretty horrible. (Disclaimer: I will research this and try to find the source if asked, if i was misinformed I will gladly remove the following information) I have heard that when a BET executive was asked why they wouldn't play a particular rapper, they said "Our audience isn't smart enough." That's right, you get to hear dumb music because you are stupid.

My last disagreement, although it saddens me to say, is an emotional one rather than a logical one. I sincerely miss the way TV used to be. When I was a kid just watching AHH! Real Monsters and Rocko's Modern Life everything was so simple it was the best experience i've ever had with the brainwash box.

The reason most of us don't notice things like this is that we've lost the ability to look at something with what I call "New Eyes." We are so wrapped up in the normality of what we're looking at that it becomes impossible to see how beautiful or repulsive it really is.

If you watch television, YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED. Now I'm not saying you have to quit watching your favorite TV shows, I'm asking you to be aware of what is being done to you. After all, it's quite hard to brainwash someone who knows what you're doing.
