I am droolingly stupid and horrified. I just spent the past 2 hours watching DSTV and I am shaking and depressed. How can anyone watch television and not want to kill themselves? Not kidding. Not being overly dramatic…well.

No wonder our world is in the wtf state it is in. Good lord folks…Read. Please read? Hell, I will even be ok with you reading Die Son or Heat* or even Huisgenoot**.

Do NOT watch MTV’s The City. I watched about 7 minutes of beautiful people being extremely nasty to each other in P Diddy party look alike places. I kept glancing around me in the typical ass-porn watchers’ stance of please-dear-lord-let-no-one-I-know-catch-me-watching-this-filth. If that is not scripted I am a giant zucchini wearing a bowler hat.

And then I thought to turn to good ol’ sitcoms…Noooooooooo. Either tv became suicide-with-wet-meat-bad or the past year has rid me of the wish to turn my kingdom/mind into a stupid free zone (mostly). Even National Geographic*** had some insipid take on Nosferatu on. Nuh UH.

Anyway. Rant over. Now on to something restoring like Punch Drunk Love. Luckily pseudo intellectuals like moi can turn to Adam Sandler**** for sanity restoring entertainment.

* Sunstroke anyone? I am not going to develop this further because I am still reeling with the shock of nearly stabbing myself in the eyeballs with a salad fork in desperation. I’ve never wanted to be blinded and deaf so much in my life. And this includes the time I walked in on someone’s parents’ scenario which involved pleather and baby oil.

*** Every geek’s safe house tv wise

****Laugh now. Think you get the irony. Then watch this movie or Reign over me. Yeah. We’ll talk while you weep with how good The Water Boy can be. Soul, go to your home.
