There's Carson Daly whoring out music videos for the record companies, and hundreds of screaming teens who are being taught that nothing really matters except the lives of celebrities. Just a few decades ago kids were screaming about the Vietnam War, about civil rights and about peace and love. Now they scream whenever the latest crappy pop musician comes out with another crappy album full of songs that don't mean anything. Whatever happened to ideals, to things that tried to send a message?

Cops isn't much better. Just a bunch of violent criminals who think they're better than all the other violent criminals because they have uniforms and badges and superior firepower. What is this teaching people? Shut up and obey the rules of the dominant gang or get your ass kicked, that's what.

Excuse me, I'm going to go read a book by somebody who has something intelligent to say.
WTF..tv sucks, of course it does when youre watching TRL. Is that all you watch dude?? I have digital cable with over 200 channels, and im always watching the history channel, discovery channel, National geographic channel, etc.

So dont act like your all high and mighty just because you read, what do you want a cookie or a pat on the back??

And what about Family Guy, the Simpsons, seinfeld, or even the daily show, do you hate those shows too?
