Breaking Point

WARNING - now is a GOOD TIME to go on news strike. Yes, avoid any and all sources of news. Watching the "news" will turn your brain into mush, you will drool on yourself, and the things President Bush says will start to make sense to you.

Now why would I call for a NATIONAL NEWS STRIKE? Simple. There is no news to be found anywhere. Here is a short list of things eating up ALL the national news time, which I do not give a crap about.

1. Howard K. Stern (or whatever the crap the middle initial is).
2. Who be the baby daddy
3. Methadone in the fridge
4. Seminole Hard Rock hotel/casino
5. Hollywood Police Department
6. Whatever crap Larry King is talking about
7. Large homes in the Bahamas.
8. Dead former Playboy models.
9. Bill Cosby's dog
10. Whatever crap Michael Bolton (the former UN guy not the awful music guy) is saying.
11. The other Michael Bolton
12. Miami Heat news.
13. RICK FUCKING SANCHEZ - get his ass off my TV forever.

Now if you want to avoid ANY of these things, avoid cable news shows. All of them. They all suck. How long as Anna-Nicole Smith been dead? Days already. So why is it still news?

YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD! How could you say this? I know you are thinking this. So here it goes.

It is always sad when people expire. Well not ALWAYS, there are some people we make special exceptions for when they croak - but for most people it is sad. And yea I can dig that Anna-Nicole's FAMILY is sad. But it is NOT NATIONAL NEWS! People die every day! They get little more fanfare than a short obituary in the local paper. Is she more important than your grandmother? How about anyone else who died in your family? From a human standpoint no, she is not any more or less important. But did ANYONE you know who died get this much air time? Mother Teresa did not get this much air time! Of course, Mother Teresa had bad timing, she died when someone else was sucking up all the news air time.

We the people need to TAKE BACK OUR NEWS!!!! So join me in the national news strike! Refuse to watch ANY news! Send off emails and letters saying "I am not going to watch your shit unless you air REAL NEWS and get off the bullshit". If you are really hardcore, ditch the cable TV service - and let the provider know why.

I can promise you this - if you watch ANY of the media circus that has already started YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! Do not buy any magazines. Do not watch any TV programs. change the channels to the Game Show Network and play along with The Match Game when the news starts to talk about bullshit (which is all the time).

If you choose to take part by buying shit and watching crap - you are feeding the junk news industry. By simply watching you are contributing to the value of advertising time on the "news" channels. This frantic scramble for those advertising dollars is what drives ALL networks to do whatever it takes to attract viewers. If you bought ANY Princess Diana magazines (when she was alive) YOU helped to make photos of her valuable to assholes with cameras - and in a way you helped kill her. Not me, because I never once bought any of that shit. The assholes with cameras got $0 of my money directly or indirectly. Same for authors of these worthless "tell all" books.

Think about it. No magazine sales = no big bucks for photos. No big bucks for photos = the photos are worthless. Worthless photos = no assholes with cameras dogging people everywhere they go. No assholes with cameras dogging people = no having to drive fast in Paris. And so on. it really does lead right back to the end consumer, for they are the source of all the money.

The choice is really up to you. Do you choose to feed into the madness and watch it? If so, you ARE part of the problem. Will you choose to not take part in any of this? If so you are part of the solution. I am being part of the solution now. NO NEWS! NONE!

Tomorrow we will return to something with more humor content. Like that will be hard to do! That is like saying "tomorrow we will smell something that smells BETTER than a pile of human bodies after being left outside for a few days in South Florida in August!"
