Do you watch television?

I have to admit this, I don't necessarily watch television but I do watch two tv shows called Skins ( uk) and True Blood. I only watch them because I'm bored, they are just super commerical soap operas with popular themes:
Skins being: racial isssues, substance abuse, parties, sex, relationships, coming of age etc teen dramedy
True Blood being vampires, werewolves, witches, paranormal etc.

The only thing I'm concerned about is if there really is subliminal messages in tv shows? Like in True Blood,even though it's based off of book, it's just full of unnecesaary sex, and half nudity ( being they show everything but you genitals) and all the actors are super buff and worked out, and plastered with make up, and all fit the standards of what people are supposed to look like in this society, and even though the plot is mildly entertaining I feel like it's the same shti over and over again. Also, with Skins, even though I could understand relate to some of the characters, being a teen myself and finding myself caught up in similar shit, I researched and found out that in the uk when it first started it had a huge impact on the youth and had all these parties where they basically made money off of uptown kids going these parties, and alot of kids started to follow this so called skins party lifestyle.

Weird, and then the writers came to mtv to make a us version and make more money.

Though tv shows are midly entertaining, it's without a doubt secretly commercialism and made for profit definetely HBO is PORN, and it makes people so addicted to there damn shows because they are pornographic. ANd when people sit and wait for the next episodes of these shows, they are also being told what to act, and what to look like, especially youth.

I don't really watch these shows anymore, I only watched it to critique it and look for subliminal messaging like rumored.And I guess it is true, tv is a total scam.

But that's just my opinon, what do you think?

 

can't read too drunk but i agree with what jeesus cerust is saying,
i like skins.haha, addicteed

 

The internet is no less guilty of the crime either, I have to admit. All people do now a days is go on Facebook and Twitter and make Harvard students rich. They say it's the free information highway, but physically reading a book will always be more credible and better than straining your eyes on some info website, seriously. Also, ISP's are just more corrupt corporations, supporting the right wing and limitting the websites you can go on, and supposedly blocking your service provider so you can switch to theirs.

Privatized free controlled information.

I;d rather just watch television and face reality of that fact that I AM being brainwashed sometimes, then sit on here and think this is better.

I'm going to stop going on the internet so often, I'm tired of it. It's addicting, and I always find myself on here bored, because I really have nothing else to do. And the more time I spend on it, the more I'm spending money.

 

IS that her, o?

 

Saying we don't agree with television and the things it stands for, but watching it for a good laugh anyway makes us no different than those who are actually influenced by it. We are saying television is okay, and that is actually counterrevolutuionary.

I oppose all technology, but I can't escape it living under someone else's roof, where all they do is worship it.

Like my dad the other day asked me if i wanted a kindle, a kindle?

I DON'T NEED A KINDLE! I DONT WANT A KINDLE! I NEVER ASKED FOR A KINDLE! IM PERFECTLY FINE WITH READING ACTUALY BOOKS WHERE YOU TURN THE PAGES IN YOUR ACTUAL HANDS!

I didn't say this to my dad, I just said that to the corporations responsible for pushing down their consumer/production agendas on us, which are obviously wasteful and destructive to life, and acting like unless we have a computer, a cell phone, and a tv we are nothing.

This is why I spend all my time reading actual books and going to the library, and I'll probably stop going on the internet after this for a long time, the only reason I'm on it today is because I went to library earlier and couldn't find books I needed so I have nothing to do today but sit around and go to the park and shit, and write.

Technology, and all great material things and superficial ideas, and created to make us feel inferior. To make us feel impuny.

If you want to know more I suggest you read "The Culture of Make Believe" by Derick Jensen. By far one of the most shocking and moving books I've ever read. But it really sums up and explains things about this society and civilization that we don't see. And it supports the way I've always felt about this world.

We are basically in a civilized holocaust and the way we live is completely unsustainable and we have fallen out of our being.
