Okay so I've been trying to watch less TV and do other things, ya know, like live. Not that I'm hating on TV shows, but I don't see the point of scheduling my life around this entertainment device. Especially when you actually have to pay a monthly subscription for the privilege. You can always buy a season of a TV series if you really like it or in many cases check it out from a library. But I digress...
Maybe I've just been out of the TV loop or something, but I was at my parent's house and they had the tube on. Family Guy was on and it was like the show and the commercials were all on speed. The commercials were loud, flashy, and fast paced. Talk about media overload! The show itself, which can be funny, was full of repetitive fart jokes and negative humor mocking or insulting someone (usually a famous person). I don't particularly care about famous people, but making fun of someone is rarely funny because it is rarely clever. In my opinion the only people that find that humor funny are those that lack the capacity for anything else.
Perhaps my concern is that people are thinking less and less and it now requires a machine gun of colors and noise to make them think anything.
There is also the possibility that there just happen to be a lot of people that are like this, and these shows target that demographic, in which case we're already fucked!
