Such rancor over this "Murkan Eye-DULL" stuff...

[BiggJawn]

So what's up with it? Is it REALLY about somebody dissing your favourite Teeeee-Veeeee show as mindless pap, or does it go deeper than that?
Could it be that deep inside, you KNOW the "elitists" are right, that it *IS* mindless pap, but you just can't HELP yourself?

I'm just throwing that out to add a little Hydrazine to the "debate"...:evilgrin:

1. No... I don't care about dissing shows.

When they openly admit they think they're better than I because they don't watch? Well excuse the fuck out of me for getting pissed.

4. Well, I'm sorry.

But, after all, it *IS* just a fucking radio with pictures on it, isn't it?

People treat it like it is the Source of All Life Itself...

"Better"? I'd never.

"More Intelectual"? I think there may be a basis for debate there.


At least the Internets CAN be interactive. Teeeeeeee-Veeeeee is just plain PASSIVE. You sit and look at it. It MAY inform, and I imagine some people are actually entertained by it. Hell, I even like to look at the Food Network a coupla times a week...

5. Exactly... it's SO not important

which is why it makes me SO mad that people actually think they're superior based on what they watch on it.

"More Intellectual" shouldn't apply either, without taking into consideration the entirety of my reading, watching, and listening habits.

Why the fuck do people want to rank themselves against others so badly, anyway? I mean really... what the fuck?

6. Our Competitive Nature.

That's what I always blame it on, that notion of "Fuck keeping UP with the god-damn Jones, I want to CRUSH them!" that's oozing into our
"culture"...

Ahhh....maybe I should have said "More Geeky". NOBODY ever wants to question an assertion like THAT! :D

9. It makes me sad.

I'm all about the LOVE!

7. going to symphony is passive as is going to theater as is going to

art museums. But the elite think watching specific shows makes a person less than them. Huh? Makes no sense and is rude! :grr:

[BiggJawn]

10. Comparing the Symphony to "Murkan Eye-DULL" or "Survivor"

Is like comparing making love to your soulmate to 5 minutes in the bathroom with "Miss August".

C'mon, you ought to know better than to try that. I'm no "college-level" debator by a LONG shot, but even I could see the bullshit of that.

2. Neocons beat/expose us once again

There's nothing here, according to the Ultra-paranoid, but a broad, liberal conspiracy to hit Rupert Murdoch where he lives: his cheesy, low brow wallet. Didn't you guys get the memo from George Soros?

3. I watched a couple of times and found myself agreeing with

Simon Cowell(sp) alot, and getting reprimanded by my daughter. Who needs that crap. I own the house and TV, so it's banned. Is that elitist?

8. You will stunt her emotional growth and make her to be called 'loser'

by the masses. How terribly cruel you are :spank:
