An Interesting Narcotic

I grew up when there were about 4 television channels and they would all seem to go off at night with the picture of an Indian in a bull eye with an eerie humming sound. Now, there are a ca-zillion channels, most of which don’t offer anything of substance to the viewers. I’m trying to figure out what has happened. It seems as if the only thing that is on is news and what they consider to be reality television shows, of which none seem to be real to me.

I tried to look at a few of these but they all just seem to proffer poor acting, if at all and set-up conflicts that don’t have anything to do with nothing. I checked out this new show for about ten minutes, it was about some white folks turning black and some black folks turning white. The only thing of interest I got was a laugh for the short duration when I watched it when the white women, dressed I black face said she would be able to experience being with “actual black people.” Then there are these other stupid shows like the Flavor of love where an elderly Flavor Flav of Public enemy is in a house with 20 dames. I say this is not real for any real nigger maybe would have boned a few babes, and kicked them all to the curb and selected the chick called Hoops. Even the news is jacked when they run stories celebrating the anniversary of Court house shootings as they have been doing to celebrate the legendary Brian Nichols here in the ATL.

This makes what David Mamut said a long time ago really succinct – that television is an “interesting narcotic. By definition, a narcotic is any drug of an opium derivative. One reason I still have problems with drug laws that classify Cannabis as a narcotic when it is not even a by product of opium. Drugged up on television, aint that some shit. Thank God for CSPAN and ESPN otherwise I wouldn’t have a need for a cathode ray tube at all.
