AN ASSAULT ON AMERICAN MINDS II
Some TV shows should have warning, "viewing this show may be hazardous to your intelligence", but oh, that would be ninety percent of the fare on television today.
No doubt I am against dumbing down of America, and the current offerings on the television could not be more dangerous to the brain power of society. Actually it should be considered a bodily assault, since it obviously replaces the function of a real lobotomy thru a medium we call entertainment.
Be it "Rob and Big", "The Hills", "The Osbornes" or the "Real Housewives of -----" the low brow shows and low class participants could make you believe that there are no decent people left in the United States.
There is an old joke that some asked one as to if they will sleep with some one for a million dollars, when the person said yes, they were told that the fact that they were a prostitute was established. Apparently there is no lack of persons that are willing to make an ass of themselves on national TV for a lot less, and the economy falters further the price of personal dignity will be lowered too.
Or as it was rpresented in the last weeks Bettle Baily comic strip
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
