They are so far 'out there' and away from reality - that it is shocking to consider how many people sit in front of them unblinking, absorbing it all without any real thought! The truth is, that the longer we submerge ourselves in that stuff, the less we consciously feel its affects on us. One other thing I find so disturbing on TV is the pace at which the images change from one thing to another...along with the constant graphical and audio distraction on programs like the News. Crazy stuff indeed! I’m totally with you regarding commercials!

I got rid of my TV a couple of weeks ago, didn't even watch it any more. the thing that strikes me most when visiting my friends that watch a lot of TV or have the TV on in the background is how disturbing commercials are to me now. How could I ever have sat through that shit once? Mindboggling! Now if I only could spend more time from the computer, damn this thing has magnetic attraction. /john Great post.
