Tuesday, July 17th, 2007So, how many of you just feel helpless at what happens around you? Yeah, I thought so. Too much crap and not enough progress. Best thing I ever did was simply just to ignore TV. It’s amazing how much stuff there is to do when you are not hypnotized by the boob-tube.
I just watched Zeitgeist Movie, there is an awesome number of qutoes from the movie Network. One of the most memorable is (Talking about TV)
Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people, and that’s why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communications Corporation of America; there’s a new chairman of the board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy’s office on the twentieth floor. And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?
Has a great point. Now I’m on the hunt for the movie to watch the whole thing.
