I want to try to write about TV in a more positive tone today. I said yesterday that it is a mind control device, but that doesn't mean that it can't be put to good use. The way people have been alternating between rejecting me and accepting me over the last three years at first suggests that they are a fickle lot, but there may be another reason for it, a more innocent one: honest people are trusting. Honest people turn on their TV's and fully expect to receive truthful information because they, themselves, are honest. But as I have often stated, lies change. First Dateline told you that you worshiped Tina Fey. Then they told you Tina Fey worshiped me. Am I correct? If so, as soon as those ladies reversed their position, no one should have listened to them again; they can't be trusted to broadcast news, especially news about me. On another point, I have held a lot of jobs in my life. I know how hard it is to get by. I know what it's like to come home at the end of a hard day. You're not up for any intellectual challenges from your TV. You just want to sit in front of it and let it do the thinking for you. So please don't think that I am condescending by pointing out the following. A musician does not depend on humour. If a musician includes laughs in his portfolio, it is as a bonus to his musical talent and nothing more. A musician does not win fans with laughs, he wins them with music. Furthermore, even if a musician wanted to somehow apply comedy to his career in some underhanded way, he wouldn't go to the pains of typing out a script complete with stage instructions. He would simply download a comedy video and make it available on his web page. I suspect that there are still some people on TV who owe me money. I'm not sure what the future holds for me, but I hope that as long as you people insist on watching TV, you will try to watch it with a more critical eye, at least until I appear there myself in some way that proves that you can once again trust it. Under benevolent authority, even a mind control device can be beneficial. |
