This object is in probably every single household of the western world and is completely destroying the power of communication, creativity and thoughts of people from children to elders.
Its time people woke up to the fact that tv is a massive programming tool for the elite and is another weapon against the human concioussness. You only have to look at who owns the networks to understand this.

Posted: 06/25/2009
Larry Gelbart, writer of M*A*S*H and Tootsie, wrote an HBO movie called Weapons of Mass Distraction. The title is one of the best things about it.
Mass distractions distract everyone from thinking about war, help us stop thinking about Dick Cheney or the share price of AT&T. Mass distractions help keep us focused on which guy with sticky hair will win “American Idol” and encourage us to become hypnotized by Britney Spears, a mentally unstable hillbilly.
“I’m not coming at this from a cultural mountaintop. I’m a veteran of E! Entertainment Television, have produced bio-docs on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Warren Beatty and have been doing pop culture movie segments for ReelzChannel. I’m in this pop culture thing really deep, ok? Lots of my colleagues in cable are doing great things melding pop culture with science. Exciting pop media is on the horizon with iPhone and Motorola phone aps. I get that pop culture is a powerful engine. But who’s driving?”
Diane Keaton: It’s so clean out here [in Los Angeles.]
Woody Allen: That’s because they don’t throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows.
— Annie Hall.
It’s relaxing to watch garbage on TV, more relaxing than taking out the real garbage. (“Is that starting to smell bad, or is it the television?”) People say mass media is dead, but nearly 29 million people watched the finale of American Idol. The most popular video on YouTube has been viewed about 56 million times. The pop audience is big and it’s a cultural powerhouse.
We need better shows.”
— Jeff Zucker, chief executive of NBC Universal, quoted in the New York Times.
