Think with your gut. Tv is mostly excrements.  They use all kinds of effects to get your attention. I know a guy with 300 channels, and apart
from nearly being comatose 24/7, he watches a couple of channels only. Why do you think they call it the tube? They feed excrements through
it. I won't hate on some shows, I believe some of them are very interesting. Imo it's mostly excrements. My tips: Rent a comedy. Read a book.

It is taken from a series published in the 'American Almanac.' He wrote this article amongst others.
And the alleged 'Amateurishness' of the website surely does not detract from the content?

Thanks for that information Delta Alter. An amateurish website can present different kinds of problems (depending on your intent).
I've been doing web development for about 8 years and in the web design world, it's very bad practice to place text on a busy background. Most
people will not read it because of the difficulty in seeing the text against the background. The best way to present serious (and long) articles is
black text on a white background.
Also, items like animated gifs, broken links, etc. are very unprofessional. People are less likely to take the content seriously. A good site to get
web design advice and tips is at Sitepoint (www.sitepoint.com). I'm not affiliated with the site at all but I use it a lot because it always has
extremely useful information.
Back to the television article, it's a lot of information to read. I had to copy/paste the content into Wordpad documents so that I could read it
comfortably. I'm still on the second page at this time.
Thanks again for the info!

Yes, I can't argue with that - Kind of makes you feel dizzy and sick reading it!

I think TV is a powerful device that vomites out information and entertainment.
like the internet the TV has a wasy to send some message but usally its not avaible to all the people to seen that information or the time to do so or
even the skills while the internet could give information anyone could send a message.
another thing is infromation needed. in TV I wouldnt have the information that i want but in the internet i could get it faster.
The question is is the TV going to exitict?
I dont think so but the internet star is going to kill the TV star IMO

You can't trust the information that the TV gives you.
Obviously there is a lot of BS on the Internet, but with some patient surfing and back up from other sources, you are far more likely to find the
'Truth'
As for the Internet killing TV- possibly, but it's only a matter of time before the Internet gets controlled to the point of being about as useful as
TV anyway.

I started this thread almost a year to the day ago, and now the new Simpson's movie is about to descend into our consciousnesses, I though it seemed
appropriate to dust it off and get it going again.
We already know that the new film has a theme of 'An environmental crisis that forces all the main characters to evacuate Spingfield'
It's already reeking of propaganda, folks.
As soon as anyone has seen it, please post your views/findings on here, I am intrigued to hear what you think.

Instructions for correctly washing a brain.
1) Brain must be empty. A great amount of room is required for all the peripherals that come with creating a new mindset. If it is logistically not
practical to have the brain empty, then it needs to be filled with drivel that is easily replaceable.
2)The brain should not be engaged in any meaningful pursuit. This includes reading anything more profound than People Magazine, engaging in deep
discussions of a stimulating nature, or (God forbid) meditation.
3)Adrenalin aids in the removal of unwanted preconceptions and in overriding basic logic functions, and should be used generously. Fear of the unknown
is the best brand to use, as it is the easiest to manipulate.
4) Once the brain has been cleaned, care must be taken to insure that the new identity is recognized as superior by infusing a sense of high self
esteem. This is best accomplished by issuing letters to follow the name, such as Ph.D., or at least B.A., and to never be referred to as BS.

What the Simpsons Episode where I saw scene where a Helicopter Gunship Shoots Missiles at Jason Voorhees or his lookalikes, Anonymous arabian, and
someone that I don't know? (it makes me fond of Jason Voorhees and al-qaeda).

Oh wow...You're so right, it's scary. I've always loved Simpsons, and I have an addictive personality, so I doubt I could give it up, but perhaps
I'll be able to see how much it's wrong. Thank you.

We got rid of our TV after it broke and we decided not to buy a new one.
It is quite phenomenal how quickly we 'Got over it.'
Our minds feel clearer and so much more objective it is untrue. If I see TV at a friend's house now I am astounded at the level of idiocy - on the
programmes, the news, the adverts, everything.
In order to justify their TV watching to me, there is one programme that all my friends and acquaintances deem worthy.
If I had £1 for every time someone said to me: "I only watch the news and the Simpsons" I would be one rich woman.
We all know the News is just propaganda, plain and simple, but The Simpsons is an interesting one to me. I can't deny it is funny and well written -
I certainly enjoy watching it. But it is unusual the way that EVERYBODY watches it - toddler, infant, child, teen, young adult, middle aged, pensioner
- they all love it.
And now there is to be a movie - a movie that is GUARANTEED to be watched by more or less every person on this planet. How can this not be used for
propaganda? It is a situation that is just too good to be true for the Brainwashers.
So does The Simpsons already contain propaganda?
We all love Homer Simpson. He is fat, lazy, greedy, stupid and selfish. Apparently we love him because he is 'Just like one of us.' More likely
translated as: 'What they want us to be.' A rabid consumer, self absorbed, alcoholic, obsessed with sports, TV addicted and inept at parenting.
Then we have Marge. Stay at home mum (most of the time) puts up with Homer (that is just the way men are), looks after the kids, cooks and shops for
the family, dreams of a better life but cannot haul her way out of the rut, intelligent but unfulfilled, resigned to her life because 'that's the
way life is.' Again, she's just like Me or You.
Bart is the obvious one. 'It's alright to be stupid, as long as you are cool and funny. Don't respect anybody -especially not your parents or your
teachers. Eat junk food constantly. Aspire to nothing.'
Lisa is by far the most interesting character. She is intelligent, spiritual and wise. She is also a geek, her only friends are librarians, she is
bullied constantly and in the episode where she is 'accepted' by the cooler kids, she has to become just like them.
Nuclear Power Plants are trivialised into the norm, plenty of gags about polluted water and worker's incompetence, Not so funny to those in
Chernobyl, I am sure.
General society is dysfunctional, full of depressed, alcoholic men, shopkeepers threatened by armed robbers, Kid's TV Presenters who are sexual
degenerates, stupid, illiterate teachers who hate children, the list goes on and on.
Some may say that the Writers are merely criticising the above. I think that it is implanting it as the 'Norm' into our conciousnesses.
Once again, I stress that this programme is clever and entertaining-I make no bones about that. But making something funny and entertaining is
obviously a very efficient way of getting people to watch something.And think about just HOW MUCH it is on TV, repeated over and over constantly (much
the same as 'Friends') a good brainwashing technique.
Yes, we all love The Simpsons. So lets anticipate the coming movie, where we and the rest of the world will gather en masse to sit in front of a
massive, surround sound screen, and have the latest data inputted into our brains.
What is it going to be?
the bullies Bullied Martin Prince instead Lisa Simpson
