Simple sucks Created 20 years ago2004-12-16 16:42:58 UTC by m0p

Don't you think television is designed with the mindless idiot in mind? They try to make you engulfed in their pointless and simple programs with adverts. Take for example the Sky Digital advert. It says stuff like "Keep the whole family entertained in front of the TV for christmas! There is plenty to watch!". Also, another example, fast food. It is usually of shitty quality and is designed so people don't have to do anything. Pretty stupid. Thanks to simplicity, people are turning into lazy, fat, and boring people. My next example, public transport. More and more people are not learning to drive. I mean, driving is lazy. But public transport is just simply, lazy. They try to make everything so simple that everyone has turned into TV obsessed, fat, lazy, boring, dumb and controlled puppets. Manipulated by the media and simpleness.

PS. And no, I'm not Jahzel in disguise. I feel like posting a conspiracy for once

As for the media thing - you've got a point, but people still have a choice not to watch tv and eat junk food.

As for public transportation - it's better for the enviroment, city streets get less crowded and you hardly move less than if you're driving. Can't really see your point there.

But they subconciously force eating shit and watching crappovision if idiots watch those adverts. But with the public transport thing, I suppose your right.

masterofpuppets is right..I live in Turkey.Our people are not that rich..so we dont have public transportations like subways or other thing(I dont know its english vesion..sory).Do you live in America..I watched a movie called obesse and America has the most obesse people in the world !As T.V nobody could resist that except guys who are not fat.I had friend and he was obesse ..He was always sitting all day long eating and watching T.V eww Like a zombie..but zombie's got an advantage ,they can walk

No, I from UK. But yeah, some people eat shitty food and watch TV like zombies. It's pretty disgusting actually.

It is all rather depressing really. At least the UK Police State has been delayed by the resignation of "the man who loved too much", the wonderful Sr. David Blunkett.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

cries in despair

I think people who watch alot of tv could have a warped perception of reality when it comes to social interaction. Think about it. When people are talking to each other in movies the are reading off a script and being told what to say. People who watch alot of this may start trying to a interact with people the way its done on tv, but that is not how things work in real life.

Who says that TV zombies even socialise?

They don't socialize because they can't. They can't fit in with normal people. I'm sure this doesn't happen to everyone, but there are people out there like that.

*Recalls scenes from "its a brave new world" and "1984"

I love the T.V but what draws me in is the computer as usually i spend about 7 hours a day and 8 on weekends!

Im sure you lot go on for longer but just 3 hours can hurt your eyes and cause eye damage or weirdly blindness?

I agree that people are lazy today but in the UK i think it is fine but in America i noticed the term 'fat american on couch' and i see stuff like that all the time!

The big corporations dictate what's cool. And the mainstream follows like herded sheep. That is called being weak minded, and that's what is making people simple and lazy. They think they are being cool because they are following what a corporation dictate is "in fashion". Oh, and for more conspiracy action, join IRC!

What's a book? is it something you eat?

We had a big discussion about this on IRC.
Ended with mop saying "The majority of people are retarded" and "stfu noob".

No actually. It ended with me saying that the mainstream are below average and are weak minded, low iq, TV enslaved, mindless zombies. And it's true. The big corporations make a shitty product and the mainstream "sheep" see it advertised on the Retard-Vision and purchase it. Then, the big corporation releases another shitty product. The sheep follow.

00:57 ZombieLof : O
00:57 ZombieLof : I'm going to bed. Nimbus1951, you should too.
00:57 masterofp : We all have the choice, but the mainstream is very easily influenced and will buy crap products and be enslaved to corporations.
00:58 Nimbus195 : I'm on my way...
00:58 ZombieLof : masterofpuppets, stop claiming the mainstream are mindless slaves.
00:58 Nimbus195 : I think he's right...
00:58 ZombieLof : It's simply not true. You're just trying to conspire.
00:58 masterofp : they are mindless
00:59 Nimbus195 : the world is feeding on mainstream idiots...
00:59 masterofp : they are too easily influenced and will buy any piece of crap they see advertised
00:59 ZombieLof : So you're saying the majority of the people of industrialized countries are mindless slaves, their will belonging to corporations? Buying the products they see on tv?
00:59 Nimbus195 : basically yes
00:59 ZombieLof : Well, wow, that's stupid.
00:59 Nimbus195 : I know...
00:59 masterofp : its not just tv
01:00 ZombieLof : saying that oneself is above average is usually rated as boasting.
01:00 masterofp : theres advertising everywhere in the world
01:00 ZombieLof : And you both just did that.
01:00 masterofp : the mainstream is below average
01:00 ZombieLof : HAHHAHAHAHAHRHRHR

01:00 ZombieLof : Oops, you set off the idiot-alarm.
01:00 Nimbus195 : Mr. avarage is also part of the mainstream
01:01 @ Ant : I think we've had enough for now.
01:01 ZombieLof : the mainstream is below average <- oxymoron at it's best
01:01 Nimbus195 : right ant...
01:01 @ Ant :
01:01 Cryos : How about enough forever?
01:01 Cryos : Sheesh.
01:01 masterofp : the mainstream is below average. average people can prevent being manipulated by bullshit corporations
01:02 ZombieLof : Mainstream = Average. Now shut up.
01:02 masterofp : but the mainstream is instantly captured by the latest dogshit flavoured bullshit burger they see advertised on the tiresome-vision
01:02 masterofp : the average person will not be manipulated by total shit
01:03 masterofp : end of story asshead
01:03 ZombieLof : I'm sure they are. The entire population of industrialized countries are below your free and superb mind, masterofpuppets.
01:03 ZombieLof : I'm going to bed.

The main part of the conversation. Taken from jaardsi's logs.

I suppose it is true... but not all ppl who watch any tv are retards... And I don't personally know someone that watches tv ALL DAY, and buys something because of it's commercial... I suppose there are such ppl, I just don't know them I doubt those kind of ppl are the MAJORITY, I really doubt it...
