As a first expedient to exit this maelstrom, to resist or even be
revolutionary, get rid of the television. Don't limit it, eliminate it!
Chuck it out & make sure it breaks when you throw it in the can. If it
didn't, fish it out and try again.
Television images and messages make a bee-line for the subconscious while
the viewer is literally entranced by the glowing box.
The message is: Consume! Spend all you earn and more! Consume! Consume!
Be good little wage slaves. Don't make waves, but don't you dare be happy
either. If you were happy, you might not buy as many of our advertisers'
products. You are a better consumer when you are unhappy. Then we can
tell you our products will make you happy...
We now return you to the regularly scheduled programming. 8-)
