Television Barf-O-Mmercials
After making it through what must have been the longest Maundy Thursday of my life, I have no other recourse except to point out that current television commercials are the devil. Back in the day advertising, like other serious vocations in America, had substance. It was recognized that human consumption was tangible and necessary for survival. Consumption in ways keeps up alive. There is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. We require food and shelter, health, and companionship. The millennium of 2000 has transformed the human race into robots. Adolescent millennials watch fantasy. Their lives have been so neglected by America, that facing the great vacuum of our existence is too painful. I suffer from the same ill. Each day I wake up and look around, what I have been plated almost is not worth it. America is responsible for most of it, and that means Raleigh and Washington DC and their great lobbying machinations. America is a pale, poor, and polluted shadow of itself. Americans are sick, maladjusted, cows. Helping with this definition is the television commercial. Briefly when I reflect on influences of our society including newspapers, magazines, and television, the television commercial emerges as the most innocuously inconspicuous putrid mind filth. They have no basis in any kind of reality, except to brainwash the viewer into tuning out. How could one do anything else? Television commercials are not realistic. They do not represent mainstream human beings. They represent mindless android robots who smile and purchase with nary a thought for their own true needs. I understand the roots of television, and I understand the roots of American entertainment. Minstrels were a basis for American entertainment, and often they were satirical representations of slavery and European opera. Black face was a common form of humor, a white man smearing his face with shoe polish to appear Negro. This is America, and no where in that lineage can be found any concept of current television commercials. They are shallow, fake, miniature teleplays that should be eradicated from existence. They have no bearing on human life, and the human life they attempt to represent is so ignorant and insulting that they should become inflammatory. We should feel both insulted and invaded by their nonsense. Television, a staple of American culture, is laced with these vile mind polluters. Not only is their production poor, cheap, and unprofessional, their message can not be challenged for worthlessness. If a product manufacturer decided to respect their buyers rather than patronize and outsmart them, then consumers would have a rational choice of whether to buy their product. The way it stands now, ukelele music seems to be the best way to incite mass suicide.
