Luckily for me, I don't have television to blare annoying voices at me all of the time. Nor do I have the patience to listen to the radio anymore. And other than hotmail itself, I never receive a single piece of spam (try to explain that one).
But everyone else has to suffer from constant constant constant advertising. Everywhere you turn is another giant billboard ... even the bathroom stalls aren't a safe haven. Fond memories are pushed out to be replaced with Jello jingles.
Anyway... It causes serious anxiety in natural creatures (re: HUMANS), which in turn allows even larger companies (re: PHARMACEUTICAL) to make even more money pushing drugs onto us instead of fixing the problem.
So that's it in a nutshell, really. Mental oppression.
as much as i hate it, i can't keep my self away from the magic box. Here where i live, there's no such concept as "no tv". I have a tuner in my room after most of my ever dwindling number of friends protesting about the idleness of my room. Saying that you don't have tv, is just like saying it is allright to hug a living grizly bear: a nonsensical impossibility.
i might ended up as one of those oppressed fools,yes. but most of us are still mentally infant to even consider that everyting that passes in front of our senses are to be considered, not eaten raw.
anyway, what did you do with the newspaper? simply pasted on to the main paper? the laughing happy heavenly people on the butt side: they deserve to be there.
lol... the people on the butt was an accident. it's actually an ad for adbusters promoting Buy Nothing Day, and the guy is saying "look honey, I bought something today" and she is saying "oh honey i'm SOOO proud of you". So yeah, i guess they do deserve it.
i also think tis a bit different to have no tv , in my house , granted a big house , there are 15 tv's , and recorders below most of them so i can record things and fast forward all the rubbish .
ive never thought of radio and things as needing patience , they are just on , i hardly focus on the radio and such unless what is being said on it is repeated , a tv is probably on most of the time here ,but i guess it doesnt matter because i hardly ever see an advert
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
