They used to call it "the idiot box."  Presumably, that meant it showed us stupid programs, and only a moron would sit in front of it.  With "the eye" (as it is also called) peering into our homes all these years, television programming has programmed everyone from children to those who consider themselves to be discerning, opting for "factual" shows such as those on the Science and History channels.  And as the advertising industry twists what's left of our helpless wrists during deafening commercial breaks, no wonder Americans are devolving into fools and drones.  Images are all we understand -- with a couple of sound bites telling us where to go and what to do.  Falling like ducks for the buy-now-no-payments-for-two-years schemes, we are sold, seduced and stiffed to the grave, and yet we don't stand up and turn the damn thing off, put an end to our misery, walk outside and commune with neighbors, nature and the real stories of our lives.

Why not?  This commercial, aired during the 2009 Superbowl, may explain why.  The tentacles of the Beast have wrapped around us, the thing willing to show itself ... a cold-blooded lifesucker boldly stepping into the light of day.  It's too late to turn the game around.  (Interestingly, the 2009 NFL Superbowl was won by the Steelers -- and what is being stolen from us??)  Souls, minds, consciousness, brains ... we are turning into mush and they know it.  How many Americans will continue to donate themselves to the cannibal experiment?  It's so over, the perps can actually laugh about it.  (Read more here.)
