Doomsday?

So we all sit around in anticipation of August 22nd...

and...
and...
and...

All out Nuclear War? nope.
Biological Terror? nope.
A sternly worded rejection of the UN? Nope...

What we get is wall to wall coverage of the JonBenet Ramsey/John Mark Karr hearing.

Is this what Iran meant to do to us? Drive us insane with bilgewater stories like this? Can we expect the Persians to bomb us with a near daily diet of "Entertainment Tonight Gruesome Celebrity titillation Wall-to-Wall Crime" of the Week segments on the news every half hour on the hour? The inhuman Persian mullahs, they will stop at nothing to destroy our will to live.

I assure you that nothing that modern civilization has spilled forth from its alimentary canal in the last 30 years has made me consider converting to a life with the Amish more than the JonBenet Ramsey story. It's not just "what happened", but the near pornographic nonstop breathless "reporting" that has occured since the crime happened that makes me wretch.

Im sorry for the little girl. Im sorry for her familiy, but I dont want to know, ok?

I.Dont.Want.To.Know.

make it stop. Make it go away...

If this is how the Persians are going to fight us, by manipulating our media and filling us with utter near "cellular level" disgust by repeating every half hour "Coming up Next... Newly Discovered JonBenet Home Movies That no one has ever seen!" then there is no defense, there is nowhere we can hide. We are doomed!

This is how the world ends.
This is how the world ends.

Not with a bang but with commercial bumper music every 10 minutes right after traffic and weather.

Yeesh! I just cant stomach another potential 2 years of this story, every day having to look at that freak. I dont want to know his name, where hes from, what he did. I dont want to know, ok? I've already suffered enough by surviving the Natalie Holloway story, the Chandra Levy story, the Laci Petersen story, the lady from Texas who killed her 5 kids in a bathtub story. Sheesh...

If this is how they want to fight us, then we are doomed.

DOOMED!

No sane person can survive being immersed in this kind of spew.

So how do you really feel? Just a suggestion, turn off the TV. I do not get a signal into my house and have not for about 7 years. I have not once regretted it. Occasionally I wonder who is being talked about when inevitably see someone elses TV and some new actor/singer/murderer et. al. has done something entertaining/shocking/controversial. But on the occasions that I have investigated more deeply as to who they were and what they had done, it affrims my original decision to shut the idiot box off. Paris Hilton come to mind.
