What a joke we are. What a joke we have become. The Joker once said if he had a past that he would want it to be multiple choice. Too bad we can't use that to be our past and our future.

Look around us, at the books we read, the TV we watch, and the radio we listen to. Such a world of "push", nothing is ever "pull" anymore. Nowadays, we can't even listen to a baseball game on the radio without the announcers reading some canned advertisements for some bank or for some insurance company. We mindlessly sit in our chairs and do what we have done for
practically our whole miserable existence... be drawn in and then quartered by the media giants, quartered into sections of what they believe in and what they want us to buy. Such pity.

We seem inexorably drawn into what the television and the media has made us to be. Look at the alien craze. Schwa (a company whose name I'm sure I've misspelled, but I just can't wait until some alien hippie who has the Rasta Schwa on his Rabbit VW email me the correct spelling) has become so popular that they have merely degraded what the culture once was. With shows like the X-Files, Sightings, Weird Universe and a million other variants (as widespread as the Cops ripoffs) we have begun infatuated with "those that are out there" and "trust no one". Isn't that a good message to throw into the melting pot to our kids. Trust no one, junior, you'll only get Tippered in the end.

With the coming of aliens, goatsuckers, and paranormal in general becoming more and more mainstream, we can only expect to see a massive flux of the occult sciences becoming more mainstream. With shows like Millennium, the X-Files (yet again), American Gothic, and some others, and movies like The Relic, how many more Satanists who sacrifice virgins to the Devil (the most movie portrayed yet wildly inaccurate vision) will come out of the woodwork wearing their goth clothing and their paganistic (yet another misconception about Satanism) symbols.

What am I trying to say? Ask the TV for it holds all the answers.
