Commentariat

Man, Colonel Chabert had me laughing into my keyboard with this comment:
"The longest threads on this site came from mocking or dissing someone's
favourite tv shows - its got to be the most unacceptable thing you can do. You
can abuse Palestinian militants or feminists or altermondialist actions all you
like, call them fascists working for the Man, but disrespect the television!
That's too far! Moralizing, killjoy...its really remarkable. Yet it's not hard to
find out what every hour we each spend in front of the tv is worth to the
Masters. So the radical refusal of destructive, market greasing activity will be
put off indefinitely, while the radical refusal of constructive action will
remain the default position, as ever...."
Guilty as charged guv: when I do have a tv in the house, I can't resist a bit of 70's film action ('twas Smokey and the Bandit last sunday - diamond).
