Television these days...

ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. TV has gotten worse and worse since Seinfeld. Heres why:

I have yet to see another funny sitcom.

- every sitcom nowadays either follow the Seinfeld format or get canceled (as they should). Though I love the network, Fox is notorious for this. They'll air a stupid sitcom featuring some washed up actor from another sitcom (usually an actor from Everyone loves Raymond...which is another show I hate). Some of these shows are sooo played out and boring that they employ the use of an even stupider gimmick, like a talking baby or a family with 16 kids. They try to make the humor edgy or "different" but anyone with half a brain can see through this like a 12 year old anorexic's skin. Its all been done before and it all sucks.

MTV

- I am going to now talk about MTV and try my best not to get mad. Not only does it anger me that this network exists, but apparently I, being 18, am a part of their target audience. I hate the fact that I am thrown in with the jackasses that would actually enjoy these shows. MTV is like television for those dumber than the people who watch TV... like if TV was one corporation, MTV would be the laboratory where they test exactly how crappy they can make shows and still have people watch them. My Super Sweet 16... The life of Ryan (yes, people actually care about some teenage skateboarder named Ryan)... The Hills... Laguna Beach... True life. the sad thing is kids my age cant get enough of this crap just as long as it follows the formula:

Reality + California + Teenagers + Privileges = AWESOME SHOW MAN!

TVs dramas

- TV is great, if your a woman. Every year a new drama show comes out just as unoriginal as the last, with the same deal as the sitcoms: each show has a new gimmick. One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives. I dont see what the obsession is with pretty white young people and there petty little problems. Women eat it up like its crack. every sunday night i cant talk to my mom or sister cause they need their "Desperate Housewives time." I usually end up watching Family Guy with the pops... Networks try to get more guys into watching them by adding some "cool" gimmicks to these feminist dramas *cough* Lost, Prison Break *cough*. But come on....


I hate TV. If i needed anymore corporate propaganda and sucky shows Id go to Times Square.

Sidekicks

Wanna know something I hate? Of course you do, I am the best and my opinion is godly.

I hate: obnoxiously big cellphones with full keyboards.

Now don't get me wrong, i respect the working business man with a blackberry or PDA, but I suppose I should be more exact to state that what i really hate are girls who carry around those T-mobile "Sidekicks." This phone features an obnoxiously big gameboy like screen with a full QWERTY keyboard that is worked using your thumbs. My mom used to tell me never to judge someone or something before you get to know it, because you will tend to fear/hate the unknown. shes absolutely right. I am a curious person and i try my best to reserve judgment, but alas i have concluded that it is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to or understand these people (Im trying to be politically correct here, but usually its a girl in posession of one of these phones). Half the time (my bad, ALL THE TIME) the sidekicker has her head buried in this phone, her thumbs moving at 239485120398 miles per hour. Technically, thats just as rude as ignoring someone or telling the person your with "Id rather not be here."

Its funny to note how, as communication technology improves, with the notion of better networking and more connections, whats really going on is a disconnection: we are slowly cutting ourselves off from reality. We prefer instead to transform our conversational thought into small bits of binary code, transmitted and reproduced.

I cannot wait for robots to take over. The look on the face of humanity will be priceless.
