do what feels good.
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said “fresh” and it had dice on the mirror, if anything i could say that this cab was rare then i thought ahh forget it “Yo holmes to Bel Air!” I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air……………………… ….this runs thru my head everytime I see/hear anything about the following: whistling, cabs, license plates, the word ‘fresh’, fuzzy dice, the word ‘holmes’ and anything having to do with a throne, king, kingdom, or prince!
GOD-FORSAKEN TELEVISION!
and I mean that in the kindest of ways! We are who we are. It is in our nature to want to do what feels good. Tv is a strange subject. I haven’t lived a day without at the very least seeing a monitor of some kind, some where for who knows what reason. But when talking about a monitor that can morph it’s contents to appeal to nearly any onlooker, all networks walk a fine line between actually offering entertainment, news, etc…and a propagandizing and restraining content. Repetition, not just ads, even programs, repeating, doing research group after research group trying to time everything just right and get to the money before the next guy. I have seen many networks fall and merge to the point where we are only allowed media from about 6-7 individual groups, but they all cater to multiple audience, so that leaves them forever mulling over the same safe concepts, not allowing much room for creativity or any new ideas or breakthroughs.
Anything that happens overseas has already travelled up 30 different skyscrapers, hundreds of offices, bosses, and presidents before being approved ….or not.
As for the internet, you have to be a very skilled navigator to find truly compatible media. Person to person isn’t very reliable either, it’s not like after you type in something like flood into twitter that there aren’t focus groups out there crunching numbers…if it isn’t obvious already the next ad on your facebook after you type in flood will inherently be from the home depot or a homeowners insurance company.
I, like most everyone, feel as if they were born wanting to be entertained. Selling, managing and funneling shouldn’t decide what and how we are entertained. We should keep it that way. I suggest a television that 100% user created and decided, uncensored and unrestricted. The extreme versions of all the old safe ideas we have come to get used to will suffocate under their own bloated weight. This would force new ideas, trends and a rich culture that not even the most cunning marketing shark could sink its teeth into!
Youtube is a scam. Google is not what you think it is. I think I hear the black chopper coming in overhead! HAAA!
wowee. all b/c i couldn’t get the fresh prince theme out of my head! I am going to read this tomorrow and think:…..hmmmmm.
