If that guy had been listening to Rush Limbaugh or watching Fox News, he'd have known the answer.

Last night I watched the Oscars at a family get-together. It was the first time I've watched ANY television in more than a year. (And I do like movies...)

But wow, what an eye-opening experience. It reminded me why I don't watch television.

Last year I didn't watch the Oscars, just YouTube clips of the bits I was interested in, many of them posted here on DU. That was a much nicer experience (aside from the family gathering) and I didn't have to sit through the advertising or have to figure out any of the current mass media "in" jokes.

And what the hell? The Woz is advertising Cadillacs??? I'd have been much happier not knowing.

If I'm ever caught driving or advertising any Cadillac that I didn't find in some salvage yard for $300, or acquired as a hand-me-down from some distant relative, consider it a sign that I'm off my meds or demented, and please alert those family and friends I trust to look after me whenever I go completely around the bend, caught as a homeless guy digging through the trash of a fast food place late at night after stealing a few packets of hot-sauce and napkins, or signing in return for a small black pouch of silver coins, a lifetime non-disclosure agreement for an innovative technology that disappears into some foul black hole of the U.S.A. military industrial complex.

Woz, how could you?
