Dinner and TV

DINNER and TV

Yes... its still a much desired way of relaxation that surely began after the first Joe Six pack brought home his state of the art black and white. A true grit, this Joe, who felt a certain sense of enlightenment while at the same time filling himself with sponsor approved zesty processed home cooking. Hopelessly compromised in such an American tradition, I too found myself joining in... full throttle... as I multitask myself with one hand violently washing down my dinner while the other effortlessly flipping through a fair and balanced channel line up of the most influential reporting elites. When all of a sudden it became quit obvious to a hard core believer in truth and freedom like myself, that the American dream has been dropped off with psycho professionals that dabble in cracker jack reporting skill and cunning magic hat trickery. Pulling from their black lids another carefully placed mutant screaming rabbit for us all to sit down and devour along with our greens and potatoes in a most socially acceptable way....So that we should not starve from a lacking of nutrients provided for us in such a convenient and tasty spoon feeding.... I wonder... Do they really want a healthier and better informed TV tray population... or do those sick bastards really just want to sell me more Pepto? -Tony Pensacotti
