TV
I don’t like being told what to do. It grates. I am intelligent enough to work out that if I need something then I should get it. For example, if I am hungry then I will make a small trip to somewhere that houses food (such as a fridge or my pocket) and eat it. If I need to shit then I make a calculation that takes into account the time I have left until I shit myself and all the available shitting locations for the most efficient place to shit. See intelligent stuff. It is now the Christmas holiday season and I am beginning to get the feeling that I am not able enough to make any of these decisions for myself.
The reason for this is my increased consumption of television. I don’t normally watch a lot of live TV, mainly due to the fact that Ladma related activities prohibit me from being in the same place every week to see the same programs. The modern PC is a multimedia god. It pretty much services all my needs in a way the humble TV never could. However, I am back in the family home, away from my PC and TV has stepped in to fill the gap and what a horrific job it does.
The more television I watch the more I get the feeling that it’s getting one over on me. There is no way of cheating it or telling it to fuck off. Adverts are the worst. If I do happen across a program that takes my fancy then it is rudely interrupted by a series of completely irrelevant Ads that tell me to buy Cars, Sofas, Shampoo and everything else there is no point me buying. They curtly cut through my passive viewing with increased volume and shouty voices. What’s worse is that I have seen each Ad around 30 times already. It’s ok though, I have choice I can change the channel and watch something else. Oh dear, all the commercial channels are running Ads at the same time so I can’t escape.
The only thing I can do is resign myself to slouching back in my seat and turning my brain off. I live in time with what the television tells me to do. For now I live the same life as the rest of the idiot country do. I eat and shit when the adverts come on and masturbate to the news.
