They Don’t Speak for Me
March 13, 2008I’m getting so sick of all the hype, gossip, and arrogant minded nonsense in media these days that I often find it difficult to collect my thoughts and write them down in a logical order. That may be one reason why you’re reading this in the first place.
Anyways, I would like to point out how fed up I am with the variety of mainstream clowns that are generally accepted as “gurus” or “accomplished” individuals, but in reality look and act more like clowns that make their country look like a group of idiots. Anyone with a non-robotic brain is very aware that they don’t speak for everyone (or even for the majority). I’m talking primarily about news/television stars, pop-music artists, and an increasing amount of politicians (client #9). With the praise and kudos that gets thrown around on a daily basis to these morons, it’s easy to forget one simple fact about these people…..They’re just people! That’s it. Flesh, blood, bone, some brain, and are individuals who may or may not have been in the right place at the right time to achieve their wealth and popularity. These people are fallible. Has that fact sunken into your memory yet? They also, like you, are usually interested in one thing, themselves.
Take the news for example, I often get confused as to what I’m watching when I attempt to get through five minutes of news coverage (commercials with news interruptions). But honestly, is it news or a gossip show? Perhaps a tutorial on how to be attractive or perhaps it’s simply a fashion show? With the exception of a few headstrong personalities out there, there seems to be a lot of loud mouth, flashy, and narrow-minded jack balls that are often portrayed as icons in each form of media. And if they are not famous from doing something stupid, you can guarantee that the news and media outlets will make them famous as soon as humanly possible (while benefiting first of course). Did anyone realize that we can’t simply learn details of a tragic shooting anymore without being fed this marketable story about how “crazy”, “disconnected”, and “disturbed” the killer was, as if we could not determine that useful information for ourselves. Why focus so much time on that and not the everyday victims in life? And why are we obsessed with having every detail of some psychopaths life as if it benefits society, when all it really does is helps feed our curious, narrow, and gossip-wired minds. It’s all a big sham. It’s all there to feed our very lazy and entertainment focused minds, and we are giving into it, hook, line, and sinker.
A prime example of nonsensical media actions, I recently saw a terrible news story where a mother was being interviewed regarding the disappearance of her daughter. The ridiculous thing about this piece was that the particular news channel decided that it was necessary to display a still photo of the victims underwear (for several minutes at a time). My question for them is this, WHY! What the hell is wrong with the media and how does this nonsense help anything at all? What has happened to good fashion common sense? It seems we accept this nonsense without question and then praising hacks who claim to be professionals at what they do.
We fight through difficult circumstances every day as a society just to survive. Is this how we want to be represented and remembered as human beings when future generations look back? Why desire to be remembered as a bunch of vacant, spoiled, vane, and ignorant sheep who just do things out of basic instinct and not logic?
Regardless of what they do, they do NOT represent me. And life is not all about shock-value, money, possessions, or ratings. I’m all for prospering in life, enjoying life and being proud of our accomplishments, but why is it fashionable to behave with so little regard to logic?
Think for yourself, learn for yourself, and stop relying on others to build your reality and personality. The lobbyist, pop-icons, and dirty politicians may not give their ego a vacation, but I you can still give yours one.
