The end of Western Civilization. No, I really mean it this time.

Our favorite RW news/entertainment network is bringing us the reality show "Who's Your Daddy?", in which, you guessed it, a young woman has to guess which among the men is her real biological father.


Vomitoriums, golden calf, human sacrifice, here we come! And it's all on Pay Per View!

1. Don't you just love that Christ-Centered FOX Network?
From the minute they went on the air with MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, they sure have presented GREAT CHRISTIAN PROGRAMMING, right???????????????

8. Just watched Fox for 30 minutes and..
I heard the word god, jesus, and christmas about a dozen times. Their bias is just so blatant. (BTW, I watched it because I was watching TV during lunch at work, and I couldn't find the remote. There's no up channel/down channel buttons on the TV, so we're stuck this damn channel until we find it. Yes, life sucks.)

2. This type of stuff reaffirms that I've made a good decision
by not having cable anymore (3+ years now without it). :-)

3. A certain network shelved a show called "I want to have a baby"
a few years back. I kid you not; it was to have been a brief part on the selection of the woman to have the baby, and then a lengthy winnowing of the hunky sperm donors. The child was to be given a trust fund at the end.

5. TURN IT OFF.
Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Television, The Drug Of The Nation Lyrics

One nation
under God
has turned into
one nation under the influence
of one drug


Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(2x)

T.V., it
satellite links
our United States of Unconsciousness
Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive
The methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching
T.V. is the reason why less than 10 per cent of our
Nation reads books daily
Why most people think Central Amerika
means Kansas
Socialism means unamerican
and Apartheid is a new headache remedy
absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our mind the most
maybe the mother of our Nation
should remind us
that we're sitting too close to...



T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates
Where bears in the woods
are chased by Grecian Formula'd
bald eagles
T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses
co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special
It's the perpetuation of the two party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where sound bite politics are served to
the fastfood culture
Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
Race baiting is the way to get selected
Willie Horton or
Will he not get elected on...



T.V., is it the reflector or the director ?
Does it imitate us
or do we imitate it

because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder why we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than to abhor the horror
T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background
Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well now go buy the soft drink
Well, the onla cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A.(Cost Of Living Allowance)
On television




Back again, 'New and improved'
We return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commercials
CNNESPNABCTNT but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
'virtually spotless', 'fresh frozen'
'light yet filling' and 'military intelligence'
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like 'recession' to 'necessary downturn'
'Crude oil' on a beach to 'mousse'
'Civilian death' to 'collateral damages'
and being killed by your own Army
is now called 'friendly fire'
T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of
trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become
sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple

TELEVISION, THE DRUG OF THE NATION
BREEDING IGNORANCE AND FEEDING RADIATION...

6. I don't watch much TV at all these days but just happened to catch
this promo. This from the network that has had the "pimp me out to marry a millionaire" shows... No irony with conservative family values here...
