Isnt this basically what all popular television has become these
days....shows with no substance but are developed to make for interesting
conversation at the watercooler the next morning between colleagues at
work.....peoples lifes have become so goddamn dull and boring and
homogenized that we need a freakin' television show to make ourselves feel
important. I am also lost at work in the morning when people asked if i
watched "Survivor" last night and im like no.....some people look at me as
if I have a horn growing out of my forehead etc etc.....its sad that your
inclusion into society has to be based on liking what everyone else likes or
what the fascist media programmers make you participate in or say u have to
do or buy to be considered a part of society today.....fuck all that!
People are definitely becoming stupider and stupider! Oh and the other day
after discussing this damn show.....someone brought up the idea about how
important do u think it is to be an individual.....And the same people who
looked down on me for not watching a particular tv show, for going to a dank
smelly club to hear some band no one has ever heard of on a friday night
instead of going to the trendy new young meat market bar for yuppies and
making myself seen and for not wanting to go with them to the big outdoor
Dave Matthews concert with them where it is gonna be so cool to be drunk
with 50,000 other idiots say that indeed they are individuals in todays
society were asked if they follow the masses. Every single persons response
was a wholehearted NO, they said that they were individuals because they
like whatever they like as being popular and they dont follow the crowd, oh
OK..................So what constitutes being an individual in today's
society?
