High Def
Here's the problem with High Definition TV: It's too good. Once you see it, you can't go back. I think it's got to be the devil's work.
After all, didn't it seem like, for a while anyway, folks were spending less time in front of the TV? I know, the Internet picked up some of the slack. And that's not such a great alternative. You can, after all, spend many precious minutes and hours numbing your brain staring at sites designed for the average slug. But I digress.
So there we were, ready to finally reject the god TV. 50 years or so of sacrificing our minds to the tube and we were just about to break out and start thinking again. But old Beelzebub got High Def onto our screens and into our brains.
It's hopeless now. We're back in the fold. No more zeal for truth. No more standing tall and thinking for ourselves. Aw, that all takes too much work anyway, right? Here's to the new god. High Def rules. Back to living each day in a coma.
