The TV is my shepherd. I shall not want.
It maketh me to lie down on the sofa.
It destroyeth my soul.
It leadeth me in the paths of sex and violence
for the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow
of day-to-day responsibilities,
I will fear no stress, for the TV is with me.
It prepareth a commercial before me
in the presence of my worldliness.
It anointeth my head with consumerism.
My cable runneth over.
Surely my laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life.

I read that book a while back. It’s really quite good. Our culture is designed to get us to stop thinking. I think the Harris/Craig debate helped show that as well.
This is one of those books I’ve heard so much good about but have never taken the opportunity to read. I’m going to get to it one of these days. Thanks!
