The powers that be have boxes, multiple boxes in every home, to pump messages straight into your brain. Crazy?

Not really. We are products of our environment. The TV was the best thing the fascists ever came up with. As a matter of fact, they arent even referred to as fascists, because they control what they are referred to as.

They are all the same. Filled with commercials, American people reacting and acting in basically the same manner.

I believe that they excel in teaching how to react. Now adult cartoons, and "reality". My latest favorite phrase...."What you need to know".

The message contained in your YouTube link is a nice exception to what we have come to expect from commercial TV. Well, we must admire the power of YouTube - the people's TV. It too is commercial TV though, and at risk for selective content availability. Perhaps what has protected YouTube's content so far is that 1) people can decide on what to post, and 2) people are willing to bear the costs of production without a promise of recompense.

Thats exactly what we did- bear the costs of production. Its was a great promo though. During local tampa elections on March 23rd. Total Freak Show.
