Tech stocks still rule, Super Bowl still sucks

Like the poster says (at top, right): DEFying convention; DEFining a new generation.

When you own the Big Mouth, of course you're going to hype yourself when you're rotten and losing it. That's a big pile of crap about such great ratings for the Super Bowl in my opinion.

Not that there isn't a massive 'network effect' that takes place in society, don't get me wrong there about the power of the medium: quite possibly, CBS's new Terminator-based television series has already prompted its share of school gun violence by the looks of the timing of events. Well, at the least it sure didn't help any! But, if you want to claim such success hosting a football game, why don't you pursue the same notoriety on the next absurdly-insane school shooting gallery scene? The resemblances are uncanny, don't you think?

Or, gee, can we please have another cop violence show to watch as there's not nearly enough crime going on outside the entertainment industry that I really crave more! Prime-Time Crime and Prison Overload: any correlation? Just wondering.

How can a visually astute bunch of professionals not know the effects of feeding images (called "impression management" in photographic and psychological arts) of gun-barrel views to anyone's mind, let alone just a bunch of stressed-out people looking to kick back and relax? When guns are going off for real in this world with such frequency, you can' t just sit back and take no responsibility for joining the promo and treating them like waving around a toothbrush. Even if you're not responsible for all the blame.

And related in parallel, stock prices we are seeing are about as realistic as the talent of a record-company pop star. It's all fantasy. It's all mind-play. It's all deception by those who had been controlling our lives for all too long and are in the midst of, uncontrollably, losing this control. Maybe if you're living in a bygone era, why would you value the future anyway? You'd more likely devalue it and hype your dwindling resources.

What will happen when people begin to actually realize consciously that they don't need even half of what they think they do, when they realize they're in a self-created, situational sandbox with imaginary walls? Drop the fear, the walls disappear...

You'll be getting the gentle tap on the shoulder soon, all those who sold us out, as what has crept up behind you (without your wanting to acknowledge it, lest you be able to go on raking us over the coals) is about to level the field for the good of humanity and beyond. This is last call, it's starting to look like, and last chance to turn around and do something good, or else nice knowing you... (well, honestly, it really wasn't that nice). With or without you, a better world awaits us around the corner.
