Television Sucks

                Perhaps I’m a little biased here because I’m getting older, but the shit on television right now is absolutely responsible for making people more stupid.  The eternal access that Americans have to television has tragically obvious byproducts, which are obesity and stupidity.  Some ass-wipe writes shitty dialogue about a shitty and unrealistic situation and gets paid more than I do to teach children.  What the fuck?

                The Bachelor (are you fucking serious that you can’t meet someone outside of television?), The Choice (more desperate, camera-needy cunts),  … I would go on but I can’t even remember the names of the other dating bullshit shows on TV.   Did I mention that my 11-year-old watches this shit?  It makes me want to puke.

                And I think I’ve already ranted sufficiently about The Disney Channel.  Fuck you, Walt Disney heirs for ruining a beautiful thing.  You started by distorting history (Pocahontas) and morphed into cheesy, laugh-track bullshit that glorifies a life that most children have no chance of achieving.  It’s fake and it sucks.  Yes, most TV is fake, but shouldn’t there be some rule about what people are allowed to shove down the throats of children?!  I had to FIGHT with my daughter last night about the meaning of “drama”, because she insisted that she hates “drama” movies, even though she watches Professional Wrestling.  Again, What the Fuck?!  She doesn’t want to read because she can watch bullshit On Demand 24/7, and my husband won’t let me get rid of it because fucking soccer is on an upper-level channel that requires special payment. 

                I love movies.  I even like the occasional TV show.  But isn’t there a breaking point of stupidity?  Isn’t there a point in the industry when executives and writers start thinking about what the hell they’re doing?  Is it coincidental that 35% of Americans are obese?  Obviously not.  We all sit here on our fat asses and watch other people “live their lives” while we shove fast food down our throats.  What a fucking joke this bastion of freedom called America has become.  I’m embarrassed by people’s stupidity and their inability to acknowledge their own stupidity.
