I am ashamed of our media on this cold grey afternoon, ashamed of what it sells and the fact it finds buyers.
Ashamed of South Park, Borat and the new breed of commercials in which the foreigners are funny, customs not worthy of being respected and four letter words bring bigger laughs than comedy that makes you think.
I'm ashamed of the Jackasses, watching people get "punked", the reality shows and aging mobsters or rock stars families arguing over the correct way to take out the trash.
Most of all I'm ashamed of O.J. and the fact that he stands to make millions as he tells us how he got away with cold blooded murder... hypothetical...nudge, nudge, wink... wink. A killer of a come-back and we allow it…
Our media frames us, reflects us and broadcasts our expectations to generations to come. We are what we watch, god help us...
I think I’ll catch up on my reading.
